How to avoid controversy from setting it JC5 in the US without a retcon

So in the final cutscene of danger rising it shows that the agency’s project illapa is in the eastern US. However, there has been a lot of controversy from having games set in real places (ex: Bolivia complaining about GR wildlands). A good idea I had to avoid this was to have the prologue mission be set at this agency base, you destroy the base then get intel about an island that the agency has took over( won’t belong to US) and then you got there and get released into the open world

The Agency

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I mean, portraying somebody destroying the US government as cool might be seen as glorifying terroism (which is kind of what Rico does, but for a *just cause*).

The u.s. owns a number of small islands. And GTA has always been set in the u.s.

The problem is not that it would be set in the u.s. The problem is that Just Causes all feature lots of destruction and explosions. The developers wouldn't want the game to be banned for justifying t/-e€rr041$m against the u.s.

What do you think?
