''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."'' | ''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.

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 in GTA 1|Liberty City]]), judging by dialogue with members of the [[Pegorino Family]]. Oddly, in-game TV programs refer to Alderney as ''"The Independent State of Alderney"'', suggesting it is a state and not a city. Most Libertonians hate Alderney (''"Nobody wants to live in Alderney.''"). | ||

Alderney's outer reaches are supplied by the Plumbers Skyway. The state is connected to [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] by the [[Booth Tunnel]] and [[Hickey Bridge]], both of which cross the [[West River]]. 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. | Alderney's outer reaches are supplied by the Plumbers Skyway.
