Los Santos is the second largest subdivision of Coocoostan, behind only Coocoobad Federal City. It is predominantly made of of the city of Los Santos Proper, but includes the Southeast of the former San Andreas. The city was formerly the largest in San Andreas and while formerly wrought with Gang violence, the problem has subsided greatly since the Coocoostan National Police audited the four police departments of the former San Andreas.

Geography
