Much less crime, and I would say much less diversity than a country founded and built by immigrants I would say.

Does it matter? GTA is fictional so the devs can put as much crime as they want into the cities.

It matters in my eyes. It's much easier to build upon legacies and information already existing, expanding it.

Russia would be slightly difficult as it's very alien to westerners, but one could make a fantastic GTA in Rome.
