== Description ==
Alderney is an Eastern Coast state. Although it’s true boundaries are unknown, it can be speculated to be roughly west or southwest of Liberty State, as it shares a metropolitan area with Liberty City. Although unseen, Alderney has a rural area to the west, where the mainland is located, similar to Liberty State, which has an upstate region. It is nicknamed “The Industrial State,” as per its industrial status and motto: “Where industry meets suburban Hell.”
Alderney is so far, depicted as an industrial region, with several townships and cities. It’s capital is Alderney City, located near the western bank of the West River that separates Liberty City from Alderney.
== Geography/Influences ==
=== Geography ===
Alderney was depicted as a largely industrial area with little to no wildlife or fauna. While this is true within the L.C. metropolis, Alderney has a region where nature lives on, similar to Upstate Liberty. As seen with Liberty, it also has oak trees, spruce trees, and pine trees, with some maple trees. It also has grass and has bluffs and cliffs around certain areas, especially near the Atlantic Coasts. Alderney is separated by multiple rivers that not only separates Alderney from Liberty via the West River, but also from Rural Alderney via the Alderney River. An unseen area south of Alderney z state Correctional Facility is also part of rural Alderney, expanding further northbound towards Upstate Liberty and southbound towards New Guernsey.
=== Influences ===
Alderney is predominately based off of the real-life U.S. state of New Jersey, with a small bit of influence from cities such as Pittsburgh and Boston. Rural Alderney is predominately inspired by Southern New Jersey, which is the general area outside of the Hoboken/Hudson County area of New Jersey. Certain cities and towns in Alderney City Metropolitan Area is based off of different Hudson County towns in New Jersey, such as Jersey City, Hoboken, North Bergen, Newark, Trenton, and Monroe. There are presumably more cities outside of Alderney City where they make take inspiration from cities such as Cherry Hill and Red Bank or smaller towns.
