Alderney
Alderney is one of the Channel Islands, located in the English Channel near France. It’s a small, peaceful island known for its scenic landscapes, historic sites, and wildlife. With a population of around 2,000, Alderney has its own local government but relies on the UK for defense and international representation. The island’s economy is mainly based on tourism, financial services, and fishing. Its unique status as a Crown dependency gives it a degree of self-governance, allowing it to manage many local affairs while remaining part of the British Crown’s jurisdiction.
