Alderney City is urban center of Alderney, considered as Alderney's biggest and most dense city, with a population of approximately 300,000. It can be divided into three distinct areas: Downtown, Koreatown, and Riverside. Downtown is made up of towering skyscrapers of offices and high rise apartments buildings, such as the [[National Newark Building]] as well as large commercial shopping areas. Koreatown is a small area that mainly runs along Hubbard Ave, and is home to many of Alderney City's Korean residents and businesses such as [[Mr. Fuk's Rice Box]]. Riverside is located along the coast of the [[West River]], giving an amazing view of [[Algonquin]] from the area. It's a lot like the downtown half, containing offices, high-rises, and other large buildings. The [[The Commission|Italian Mafia]], specifically the [[Ancelotti Family]], [[Pavano Family]], and [[Pegorino Family]], control the area, mainly the Pavano's now since the [[Out of Commission|fall of the Pegorinos]]. The [[Korean Mob]] have a heavy gang influence in northern Alderney City, and the [[Spanish Lords]] hang around in southern Alderney City. | |||

==Influences== | |||
Alderney City contains elements of [[wp:Newark,_New_Jersey|Newark]] (New Jersey's largest city), [[wp:Jersey_City|Jersey City]] (New Jersey's second largest city and where Alderney City's namesake is derived from) and [[wp:Fort_Lee,_New_Jersey|Fort Lee]] (The Korean Influence seen in some areas). A lot of the buildings in Alderney City are landmarks taken from the Downtown & Ironbound Districts of Newark, along with landmarks taken from the Downtown & Journal Square Districts of Jersey City. | |||
Fort Lee is a town with a large Korean population and is actually located far north of both Jersey City & Newark, but reasons for including it within Alderney City is mainly because the [[wp:George_Washington_Bridge|George Washington Bridge]], being remodeled as the [[Hickey Bridge]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] starts in Fort Lee. This fact must have been considered by the map artists and programers and created Koreatown within Alderney City to act as Fort Lee. | |||
