 ==Trivia==
 * Alderney is a neighboring island to Jersey in the English Channel, hence the name "Alderney" replacing "New Jersey" in the GTA IV canon.
-* Alderney is disliked by most Libertonians, as the state is constantly disrespected by Libertonians and news media like [[Weazel News]] throughout the game.
+* Alderney is frequently derided by Libertonian citizens and news media like [[Weazel News]] throughout the game, parodying the antagonism between New York and New Jersey.
 * Elizabeth of York and Queen Elizabeth I were members of the Tudor dynasty, hence 'Tudor' county substituting for 'Elizabeth'.
 * Normandy is the name of a region on the French north coast -- compare Bayonne, on the French south coast.
 * Berchem is the name of a district in Antwerp, Belgium. To the west of the Berchem district is the Hoboken district of Antwerp, where the name of New Jersey's Hoboken was once believed to be derived from.
 * [[DJ Mister Cee]] of [[The Beat 102.7]] once referred to [[Alderney]] as "Al-Dirty", a play on the New Jersey nickname "Dirty Jerz".
-* Due to some dialogue in the game still referring to Alderney as “Guernsey”, it's possible that the name for New Jersey in Grand Theft Auto IV was originally going to be New Guernsey, like it was in the original Grand Theft Auto, but was later changed to Alderney with some dialogue being left unedited. Another similar incident is how Brucie once referred to the Statue of Happiness as the “Statue of Freedom”.
+* Some dialogue in the game refers to Alderney as “Guernsey”, suggesting that, at some point in GTA IV's development, the state may have carried its GTA 1 name of "New Guernsey". "Guernsey" may, however, simply be a nickname for the state.
