About the city:
Empire Bay is a city on the East Coast of the United States that serves as the setting for Mafia II. It features an open-ended map of about four square miles. The city also features sights based on famous landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building.
Empire Bay was founded in 1547 by the Italian explorer Giulio Contadino and named Porto Romano. Under the rule of the Dutch (17th century), the city rapidly grew to be a major colonial metropolis. In 1694, the British came to take over the city and it was renamed Empire Bay.
The city remained under British rule until after the American Revolutionary War, during which the British used the city as a place to keep American prisoners of war. Throughout the 19th century, during the immigration booms, many of the city's districts were formed around the waves of immigration. Examples are Kingston, built around the Irish immigration wave, and Chinatown, built after the large Chinese immigration boom.
It was during the 19th century and the start of the 20th century that the city really grew to be a modern, American big city.
Empire Bay is an ethnically diverse city with sizable Italian, Irish, Chinese and Black populations - due to immigration and, in the case of the black population, the Great Migration from the Southern United States to northern industrial cities. Estimates would place the racial division at ~70% White, ~15% Black, ~10% Asian, and ~5% Other. The city is home to seven million residents.
Many nationwide corporations are headquartered in the city, such as Swift Cola and Big Break Tobacco.
The city is surrounded by mountains and hills, much like Upstate New York.
