The Community College of Imperial Valley College is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.076 billion Imperial Valleyans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong Imperial Valleyan economy, worth 66.9 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 62,179 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 322,464 per year while the poor average 6,496, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the tenet of free speech is held dear, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and Imperial Valley College has designated Imperial as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Imperial Valley College's national animal is the fennec fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Imperial Valley College is ranked 292,459^th in the world and 695^th in California Colleges and Universities for Largest Governments, scoring 7.68 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
