- "The city of Lost Heaven got hit hard by The Great Depression, and the advent of Prohibition in America means lucrative business opportunities for mobsters. The Salieri and Morello crime families vie for control over Lost Heaven, even as its few honest policemen scramble to maintain order."
- — Official Description
Lost Heaven is located in the American Midwest, plagued by corruption and home to several powerful crime bosses who built their empires off the back of Prohibition. It is a bustling metropolis with many features expected in a large city, such as public transport, busy streets, skyscrapers, hotels, and a busy shipping port. Due to the Great Depression, the city's prosperity has been hit hard, and the lack of honest employment has taken its toll on the citizens. Corruption has seeped into every part of society as Ennio Salieri and Marcu Morello buy out judges, politicians, business owners, and police officers. Poverty is rampant across the city, and many have nothing to their name.
Geographical Information[]
Lost Heaven is divided into three sections: the West side, the Central side, and the East Side, with each one separated by the West River. Outside the city is the North County, which features a motel, airport, dam, and more.
