How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Alderney City is the main urban centre of Alderney, the separate state west of Algonquin that stands in for New Jersey.

The real place

Wikis say Alderney City is mainly based on Newark, New Jersey's largest city, while borrowing Jersey City's name and some of its features. The whole of Alderney parodies north-eastern New Jersey.

Visiting

PATH trains and NJ Transit run from Manhattan to Newark Penn Station in about 25 minutes. The Ironbound district nearby is known for Portuguese and Brazilian food.
