How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Rockstar describes Ambrosia as a town in the heart of Leonida where American industry and old-school values reign supreme, the Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs and a local biker gang provides almost everything else.

The real place

Clewiston, on the south-western shore of Lake Okeechobee, calls itself America's Sweetest Town and grew up around U.S. Sugar's mill and cane fields. The game's Allied Crystal refinery appears to parody this company-town sugar economy.

Visiting

The mill is a working industrial site, so view it from public roads. The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail on the dike next to town gives views over the lake.
