'''Alderney''' is an [[United States of America|American]] state located to the west of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. | '''Alderney''' is an [[United States of America|American]] state located to the west of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in the [[GTA IV Era]]. The island featured in the game is part of the Greater Liberty City Area, which spans the two states. | ||
Alderney is based on the American state [[wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]] and named after the real island of [[wp:Alderney|Alderney]] in the English Channel, next to the island of [[:wp:Jersey|Jersey]]. | |||
It is not clear whether the entire state or only part of it is seen in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its [[GTA IV Episodes|two downloadable content packs]]. In an article on the [[Liberty Tree]] website in ''[[The Lost and Damned]]'', [[Alderney City]] is referred to as being in northern Alderney. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the state was removed from the map, leaving only Liberty City open to the player. | |||
In GTA IV, access to Alderney is only permitted following completion of the mission [[Three Leaf Clover]]. Prior to this, it's possible to swim to or fly to Alderney, but at the cost of a 6-star wanted level. This can be useful to obtain the [[One Man Army]] achievement. In the two DLC packs, Alderney is accessible from the start (with ''[[The Lost and Damned]]'' being based in Alderney). | |||

Elizabeth of York and Queen Elizabeth I were members of the Tudor dynasty, hence 'Tudor' county substituting for New Jersey's Elizabeth county. | |||
Berchem is the name of a district in Antwerp, Belgium; to its west is the Hoboken district, one of the disputed origins of the name of Hoboken, New Jersey. | |||

In the game, it is claimed to be named after the explorer Phillip D' Alderney, who was the only person who could live there, despite the horrible smell and ugly people. | ||
*It's stated in 'The Episodes from Liberty City' instruction manual that Alderney is a dreary suburbia with Industrial wastelands and strip malls. In reality, however, the state also includes a well-developed urban downtown area and several affluent-looking communities. | |||
Much like its real-world equivalent, Alderney is often the subject of undue criticism or mocking. | |||
*A site on the in-game internet states that "not even a terrorist would want to live in Alderney". However, there are extremely wealthy areas such as [[Westdyke]]. | |||
*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. | |||
*[[DJ Mister Cee]] of [[The Beat 102.7]] once referred to Alderney as "Al-Dirty", a play on the New Jersey nickname "Dirty Jerz". | |||
*[[Jimmy Pegorino]] mentions to [[Niko Bellic]] that [[The Commission]] think's of Pegorino's crew as ''"just a bunch of Guernsey goombas"'' implying that [[Guernsey City]] has crossed over from [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto 1]] to the [[Grand Theft Auto IV Era]] (much like [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]], [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]], and [[San Andreas in GTA 1|San Andreas]]). Since ''New Guernsey'' was the New Jersey state parody (which is now replaced by ''Alderney''), it may be a city within the unseen parts of [[Alderney State]] seeing as only one island in the state is present in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and it's [[Episodes from Liberty City|Episodes]]. | |||
Although Alderney's police officers wear a different uniform from those in the LCPD, they still are the same [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|City Police Department.]] | |||
In the [[:File:BetaMap-GTAIV.png|beta map]] for GTA IV, Alderney appeared to have a piece of land extending to the north which was removed during development. | |||

Many residential garages in Alderney open when approached with a car, however the door will not close and cars cannot be saved. | |||
