'''Alderney City''' is the biggest city in the [[Alderney|State of Alderney]] and most likely its capital. It is located in within the center of Alderney, bordered by Panhandle Rd in the north ([[Leftwood]]), the [[West River]] in the east ([[Varsity Heights]] & [[Middle Park West]] in [[Algonquin]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]), [[Babbage Drive]] in the southwest ([[Berchem]]), and Roebuck Rd in the south ([[Normandy]] & [[Acter]]).


'''Alderney City''', located in [[Alderney]], is the [[Grand Theft Auto]] equivalent to two of New Jersey's largest cities, [[wp:Jersey City|Jersey City]] & [[wp:Newark, New Jersey|Newark]], as well as some of [[wp:Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]]'s Korean influence. Alderney City is alongside [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. It takes the Downtown & Journal Square Districts of Jersey City, with the Ironbound & Downtown Districts of Newark, and combines the two together to create Alderney City, the urban center of Alderney.

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.

===Locals===
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.

===Streets===
Crime and corruption is still a problem in Alderney City like many other locales in Liberty, however the criminal presence is less apparent here than much of Algonquin or the eastern Boroughs. Korean gangs, like [[Korean Mob]], are particularly dominant in this location, especially in [[Koresh Square]]. [[The Commission]] also dominate the city. Alderney City is a independent city, but the '''[[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]]''' patrols the area. But if you look closely at the police officers in Alderney, they wear different uniforms than the regular LCPD cops in Liberty City. Alderney City police uniforms bear resemblance to those of the [[wp:New Jersey State Police|New Jersey State Police]].

The Booth Tunnel begins in south Alderney City adjacent to the Ferry Terminal allowing transport to the tourist areas of mid-Algonquin. Both means of transportation to Algonquin from Alderney are located in Alderney City, highlighting the importance of the area. [[Subway in GTA IV|Liberty City Subway]] does not serve Alderney City.

Downtown possess the GTA IV edition of the Newark National Building (skyscraper with green triangular roof), and several other Newark styled buildings, Boyden Avenue, Jonestown Avenue, and Koresh Square are mainly the area in which most of the city's skyscrapers stand tall, making it the Downtown District, opposed to the rest of city (except the riverfront) where it is mostly moderate raised apartments and retail.
 
===Koreatown===
 
[[Mr. Fuk's Rice Box]] is located between Hubbard and Lyndon in a little area in Alderney City, called Koreatown. Mainly running along and around Hubbard Avenue in the north of the city, the Korean area influenced by Fort Lee, New Jersey, a major Korean town, is not hard to miss as all the building and retail signs are bilingual in English and Korean. The location of this is put in Alderney City, as Fort Lee is far north of both Newark and Jersey City, is mainly because the George Washington Bridge, being remodeled as the [[Hickey Bridge]] in [[GTA IV]] starts in Fort Lee, so the game programers must have considered the fact and created Koreatown to act as Fort Lee.
