''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 parodies real-world northern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey|New Jersey]. Due to hardware limitations in the Nintendo DS, Alderney was omitted from [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. Alderney is composed of 10 of the metropolitan area's 65 neighborhoods, and contains the largest degree of characteristic variation out of Liberty City's five boroughs. Alderney, belonging to its own [[Alderney State|state]], is technically independent from [[Liberty State]], yet is considered part of Liberty City's metropolitan area (just as part of New York City's metropolitan area includes neighborhoods in New Jersey). Alderney is only a little larger than [[Algonquin]] in GTA IV; there may be more of the state which is simply omitted so that the game area can form an island (a practice seen in every GTA game since [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]). At the start of Grand Theft Auto IV, both Alderney and Algonquin are closed off due to threats of terrorist attack. They are, however, accessible from the start in [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. Alderney is unlocked after completing the mission [[Three Leaf Clover]]. | ||
