'''Alderney''' is an [[United States|American]] state located to the west of [[Liberty City State]]. Although the two states are completely independent from one another, Alderney State is known by many as being part of Liberty City's metropolitian area. The state is only a little bit smaller than the neighbouring [[Algonquin]] borough of [[Liberty City]].


''"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."''
The state is only seen in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its [[GTA IV Episodes|two downloadable content packs]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the state was removed from the map, leaving only Liberty City open to the player.

'''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, NJ). 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]]). In 2008, both Alderney and Algonquin were closed off due to threats of terrorist attack, which allowed only people with a visa to pass the bridges. They are, however, accessible from the start in [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] (though this is most likely because both Johnny and Luis have visas). Alderney is unlocked in Grand Theft Auto IV after completing the mission [[Three Leaf Clover]].
