== Paradise City is Pacific City from ''[[Crackdown (Video Game)/WMG|Crackdown]]'' before it separated from the mainland, as well as Oceania from ''[[Extreme-G (Video Game)/WMG|Extreme-G]] 3'' and Big Blue from ''[[F-Zero (Video Game)/WMG|F-Zero]] GX'' ==Think about it for a second. Paradise City is overrun with street racers. Law enforcement is non-existent. Criminals of all types are likely using the racers to take control of the streets. The three urban districts will eventually become the main districts of Pacific City: Harbor Town will become The Den, run by [[The Mafiya|The Volk]]; Palm Bay Heights will become La Mugre, home to [[The Cartel|Los Muertos]]; and downtown will become The Corridor, run by the [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Shai-Gen Corporation]]. Criterion, the developers of the [[Burnout|Burnout series]] neglects to show us [[Vice City|the dark side]] of Paradise. Crime will take over, and only [[Mega Corp|The Agency]] will be able to set things right. The other two districts of Paradise City will remain attached to the mainland, leaving only the urban sectors to become Pacific City. Some time a few hundred years later, it's been carried so far out to sea that the mainland is no longer visible. The city is then converted into a tourist attraction, becoming Oceania, as seen in ''[[Extreme-G (Video Game)/WMG|Extreme-G]] 3''. A couple hundred years after that, it will be converted into an ocean based industrial complex, becoming Big Blue, as seen in ''[[F-Zero (Video Game)/WMG|F-Zero]] GX''.
** But then, what about Big Surf Island? What happens to it, hm?
== The Events in Paradise City aren't races, but gang activity carried out by the racers ==As a corollary to the above, every event in Paradise City could be seen as a gang activity. Marked Man is smuggling, whether of goods like illicit drugs and arms, or of personnel, like delivering them to extort, racketeer or rob, or to retrieve from a robbery gone bad. Races are competitions to get personnel to a location first to extort, racketeer or rob. Road Rages are turf wars, establishing a gang's control of territory. Burning Routes are gangs testing racers to see if they're any good on the gang's smuggling routes. Stunt Runs are likely just racers showing off their stunt driving skill, but the gangs likely watch these to find the best drivers to carry their goods.
