Alderney: Difference between revisions

'''Alderney''' is a borough located west of [[Algonquin]] in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] that is featured in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its expansions.  It parodies real-world northern [[wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]] (and more specifically, [Hudson County]).  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]].
