Etymology
The "State of San Andreas" derives its name from the Republic of San Andreas, which was annexed by Rizealand and granted statehood. The Republic of San Andreas was named after the San Andreas Mountains in central San Andreas. The name "San Andreas" is Esmeiran for Saint Andrew, a Sotirian saint and apostle.
