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


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.

It is unknown if the Alderney featured in the game is all of Alderney or just simply part of Alderney.  


Alderney is based on the American state [[wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]].

* 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.

* [[DJ Mister Cee]] of [[The Beat 102.7]] once referred to Alderney as "Al-Dirty", a play on the New Jersey nickname "Dirty Jerz".

* Some dialogue in the game refers to Alderney as “Guernsey” (Guernsey is another neighboring Channel Island to Jersey, just as Alderney is), suggesting that, at some point in GTA IV's development, the state may have carried its GTA 1 name of "New Guernsey"; "Guernsey" may, however, simply be a nickname for the state. James Pegorino mentions both names in the [[Payback (GTA IV)|Payback]] mission cutscene.
*[[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.]]

* Much like it's 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, also like New Jersey, the state contains a large cross-section of urban environments, from the heavily industrial [[Acter Industrial Park]] to the extremely wealthy [[Westdyke]].
