Alderney

"'Industrial wasteland meets suburban hell.' - The state's motto."State of Alderney, commonly known as Alderney (likely abbreviated to as AL) is a state in the United States of America that is located west of Liberty City, a city in Liberty State.

Description
Alderney is almost completely consisting of industrial and urban areas, even suburban upstate.

Northern Alderney mostly consists of suburbs and small city areas, with high-end mansions and homes present and an old casino right on the ocean.

Central Alderney mostly consists of urban areas, with some cities and small run-down residential areas, with the namesake city: Alderney City present in the area.

Southern Alderney mostly consists of industrial areas, with factories, refineries, and more.

Geography
Alderney is an industrial and suburban state, consisting of factories and industrial businesses to the south, and suburban homes and mansions to the north, with urban areas towards the center.

What little wilderness that can be found up north is similar to Liberty's wilderness. It mostly has some hills and cliffs towards the coasts.

The state is purely based off of the real life state of New Jersey, which is actually comical, as Liberty is based off of the real-life state of New York and New Jersey is across a river from New York. The neighborhoods are based off of several real-life cities in New Jersey.

Alderney is a run-down low class state, mostly known as an industrial state that combined with suburban areas, appearing more run-down than Liberty City.

Alderney makes some appearances in some funny clips.

Living In Liberty City series
Alderney appears in both episodes and plays a significant role throughout the story. It first appears in the first episode's intro.

It later appears when the Fat Biker leaves his derelict mansion in Westdyke, Alderney and rides around town on his bike, even riding into Liberty City in Liberty State before eventually crashing in Bohan.

Much later, Niko steals a police car and drives it around Liberty City before crossing the river into Alderney. Eventually, he pulls over in Leftwood after dispatch gets on the radio to alert the police of a crime, which Niko insults the dispatch and laughs as he flees the car. He walks to a nearby car park and goes up onto the roof, where he pees from above, shocking some civilians. Niko eventually leaves the car park.

Later, the Fat Biker is seen driving Niko's Ingot, having stole it after encountering him shortly after his motorcycle accident, but he drives manically and eventually crashes onto his front lawn. He then gets in his Rancher and leaves again. Niko, who was walking in the neighborhood, arrives shortly afterwards, to notice his car being upside down from the Biker's crash. He grieves the loss of his car and noticing the house just beside it, he rushes in with a baseball bat in an attempt to attack him, only to discover that he is not home. He looks around and is surprised that the Biker has a Sprunk vending machine, which is unusual. He then peeks around a corner to find several decapitated heads, much to Niko's disgust. He vomits due to this. However, he then hears loud metal rock, signaling the Biker's return. Niko quickly hides in a cardboard box to stay out of sight right as he walks in. Niko coughs while inside the box, which scared the Biker, but was not alerted to his presence. Instead, he turns around to sit down watch the TV until it loses signal, after which, he takes the box Niko is in and puts it on the flatbed of his Rancher, which then, he drives around crazily until the box falls off.

The box landed in front of none other than Niko's cousin, Roman's apartment in Alderney City, who walks out front and notices the box. He then starts hearing noises (which was Niko yelling) and starts kicking it. Hearing grunting noises, Roman continues to kick it out of fun before Niko busts out of the box, which shocks Roman and causes him to laugh, making him believe that he is doing drugs. The two eventually calm down and Roman invites Niko inside. Niko is impressed with the apartment and then asks if Roman wants to go drinking. At first unresponsive, Niko then says that they can do it another time, but Roman eventually answers and the two take off in Roman's car. However, the two engage in a tense conversation, where Roman insults him, angering Niko and forcing him out of the car, abandoning him in Leftwood.
