 Defined as ''"Strip malls and condos"'', ''Alderney'' is a run-down industrial dockland area, home to the [[Sprunk]] plant, businessman [[Phil Bell]], and [[:Category:Media|media]] company [[Our Own Reality]]. The area is dotted with small suburban areas and oil refineries. [[Image:Alderney City Skyline.png|[[Alderney City]]|thumb|300px|left]] Alderney is also the base of operations for the Pegorino Family, a minor mafia family whose [[James Pegorino|leader]] is looking to receive a seat in the Liberty City mafia council. The lower docks of Alderney Contains lots of shipwrecks lined on the map with white shapes.
-'''[[Alderney City]]''' is analogous to Jersey City and Newark, Weehawken is '''[[Westdyke]]''', North Bergen is '''[[Berchem]]''', Eaglewood is '''[[Leftwood]]''', Bayonne is '''[[Normandy]]''' (named for a different coastal region of France), Elizabeth is '''[[Tudor]]''', and Port Elizabeth is '''[[Port Tudor]]''' (Elizabeth of York and Queen Elizabeth I were members of the Tudor dynasty).
 Alderney is a neighbouring island to Jersey in the English Channel, hence the name "Alderney" replacing "New Jersey" in the GTA IV canon.

-Alderney's outer reaches are supplied by the Plumbers Skyway. The borough is connected to the rest of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|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.

 ==Trivia==
 *[[DJ Mister Cee]] of [[The Beat 102.7]] once referred to [[Alderney]] as "Al-Dirty", a play on the New Jersey nickname "Dirty Jerz".
+* Elizabeth of York and Queen Elizabeth I were members of the Tudor dynasty, hence 'Tudor' county substituting for 'Elizabeth'.  Normandy is a region on the French north coast -- compare Bayonne, on the French south coast.
