Although Alderney is an entire state, it appears to be the size of a borough (about the same size as Algonquin), and is treated as a borough of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] (although this may be due to technical limitations—Alderney foot police, for example, are seen wearing different uniforms to the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]], although LCPD vehicles patrol Alderney). Alderney contains neighborhoods that are based on different cities and regions in New Jersey, such as Weehawken, Inglewood, Jersey City, Newark, Kearny, and Elizabeth, among others. | ||
