Alderney
Alderney is one of the five boroughs of Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, based on Jersey City and the industrial areas adjacent to New York City. Though it is considered an independent city from Liberty City, the LCPD patrols the area. It is implied to be part of a state called Guernsey (the name given to Jersey City in the original Grand Theft Auto version of Liberty City), judging by dialogue with members of the Pegorino Family. Oddly, ingame TV programs refer to Alderney as "The Independent State of Alderney", suggesting it is a state and not a city.
Defined as "Strip malls and condos", Alderney is a run-down industrial dockland area, home to the Sprunk plant, businessman Phil Bell, and media company Our Own Reality. The area is dotted with small suburban areas and oil refineries. Alderney is also the base of operations for the Pegorino Family, a minor mafia family whose leader is looking to receive a seat in the Liberty City mafia council.
The name "Alderney" comes from the same place the name "New Jersey" comes from. Alderney is a neighbouring island to Jersey in the English Channel.

Transport
Alderney's outer reaches are supplied by the Plumbers Skyway. The borough is connected to the rest of Liberty City by the Booth Tunnel and Hickey Bridge, both of which cross the West River and join Alderney to Algonquin and the rest of Liberty City. A ferry terminal is under construction in Castle Garden City, Algonquin, which would supposedly connect it with the completed Alderney terminal, but the terminal is abandoned, and construction is only in progress on the Algonquin end.
