Ill go ahead and suggest that it would be 3 regions, DC/Baltimore/Philadelphia areas.
The $ suggests its clearly in the US. Plus using a representation of money could also represent the flow of big money through politics or even representative of the US mint which is headquartered in Philadelphia.
Given the natural lay of the land with all three cities lining the coast with A steep set of mountains lining behind the coast, you can make a natural border so as to solve the "island unto itself" problem by making the mountains impassible.
One other facet of this is the level of gangs and lower level activity you see in the baltimore and arlington areas, so that would likely be a start up location, migrating to philly as you work through the game and finally running into Washington with a focus on political greed in the narrative to capitalize on the current situation in the US economy, and the general populous current impression of our elected officials.
I think its about the strongest speculation I can make. Oh, and yes, I think it will be set modern era, given the implied money graphic in the V is of modern US currency. (which dissapoints me, because I was sort of hoping to see GTA Chicago, set back in the Capone days for this installment.
