Alderney
Alderney is a state to the west of all the Liberty City boroughs. The only appearances of Alderney are in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned. It is strange because Alderney is an independent state but it is only a little bit bigger than Algonquin, which is a borough.
Overview
"Alderney - "Industrial wasteland meets suburban hell."
If Algonquin is the privileged child of the Liberty City family, then Alderney is most definitely the retarded younger brother -- an endless sea of run-down homes peppered with phallus-like smokestacks thrusting into the sickly clouds above. Simply put? Nobody wants to live in Alderney, and those that are unfortunate enough to live in the district desperately want to get out."
The State of Alderney is a small state located west of Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, largely dominated by Alderney City based on New Jersey's Hudson county with the exception of the areas of Tudor, Leftwood, and Alderney City which are based on areas of neighbouring counties Union County, Bergen County, and Essex County respectively.
Though it is considered an independent state 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 1 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. Most Libertorians hate Alderney ("Nobody wants to live in Alderney.").
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.
Jersey City and Newark are Alderney City, Weehawken is Westdyke, North Bergen is Berchem, Eaglewood is Leftwood, Bayonne is Normandy, Elizabeth is Tudor, and Port Elizabeth is Port Tudor.
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.
Alderney does not appear in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. In Grand Theft Auto IV, Alderney is unlocked after completing the mission Three Leaf Clover for Packie McReary. In The Lost and Damned, Alderney is unlocked in the beginning.
Transportation
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.
