It is bordered by Brazil on the north and east, Paraguay and Argentina on the south, and Chile and Peru on the west. From 1839 Sucre was the seat of government until the administrative capital was moved to La Paz in 1898. Sucre remains the constitutional capital and seat of the Supreme Court (Corte Suprema de Justicia).<br /> <br /> The Spanish conquest began in 1524 and was for all practical purposes completed by 1533. The territory now called Bolivia was then known as &quot;Upper Peru&quot; and was under the authority of the Viceroy of Lima. Local government came from the Audiencia de Charcas located in Chuquisaca (La Plata—modern Sucre). By the late 16th century Bolivian silver was an important source of revenue for the Spanish empire.<br /> <br /> Bolivian culture has been heavily influenced by the Quechua, the Aymara, as well as by the popular cultures of Latin America as a whole.<br /> <br /> The cultural development of what is present-day Bolivia is divided into three distinct periods: pre-Columbian, colonial, and republican. Important archaeological ruins, gold and silver ornaments, stone monuments, ceramics, and weavings remain from several important pre-Columbian cultures. Major ruins include Tiwanaku, Samaipata, Incallajta, and Iskanawaya. The country abounds in other sites that are difficult to reach and have seen little archaeological exploration.<br /> <br /> '''Factbox''':<br /> <br /> -Official Languges: Spanish, Quechua, Aymara<br /> <br /> -Other Languages: Guaraní, Native American languages</div>

It is bordered on the north by Ecuador and Colombia, on the east by Brazil, on the southeast by Bolivia, on the south by Chile, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.<br /> <br /> Peruvian territory was home to the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, and to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.<br /> <br /> Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a medium Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 40%. Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles.<br /> <br /> The Peruvian population, estimated at 28 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages.

The oldest known complex society in Peru, the Norte Chico civilization, flourished along the coast of the Pacific Ocean between 3000 and 1800 BCE. These early developments were followed by archaeological cultures such as Chavin, Paracas, Mochica, Nazca, Wari, and Chimu. In the 15th century, the Incas emerged as a powerful state which, in the span of a century, formed the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. Andean societies were based on agriculture, using techniques such as irrigation and terracing; camelid husbandry and fishing were also important.

It moved to its current 153-acre site on the old Cameron Ranch in 1958, occupying eight newly built office complexes and the original Cameron ranch house. In 1965 the college became a part of the [[Los Rios Community College District]] and became American River College. Today, along with [[Cosumnes River College]], [[Folsom Lake College]] and [[Sacramento City College]], ARC is directed by a seven-member board of trustees elected by voters residing in the district. <br /> <br /> Current enrollment is 35,000 full-time and part-time students, making it one of the largest community colleges in California. The campus also has its own newspaper, The American River Current and its own English as a Second Language newsletter, The Parrot. <br /> <br /> It is the choice of many students in the greater Sacramento area, serving as a launching point for later transfer to competitive four-year universities such as the [[University of California, Davis]] and [[California State University, Sacramento]]. Nontransfer students may enroll for certification in technical/vocational programs, continuing education credit, or personal enrichment.<br /> <br /> The climactic police showdown of the 1986 [[Emilio Estevez]] and [[Demi Moore]] film ''[[Wisdom (film)|Wisdom]]'' was filmed on the American River campus, including in and around Beaver Stadium.<br /> <br /> == Notable alumni and attendees ==<br /> {{Unreferenced|section|date=January 2008}}<br /> * [[Lloyd Connelly]] - California Superior Court judge and former California State Assembly member<br /> * [[Adrian Lamo]] - former grey-hat computer hacker<br /> * [[Smosh|Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox]] - the creators of [[Smosh]]<br /> * [[Anthony Swofford]] - author of ''[[Jarhead (book)|Jarhead]]''<br /> * [[Brian Posehn]] - comedian, co-star of [[The Sarah Silverman Program]]<br /> * [[Nicholas Evans]] - creator of the English Writing 300 course<br /> <br /> == Notable athletes ==<br /> * [[Steve Andrade]] - [[pitcher]] for the [[Durham Bulls]], an AAA [[Tampa Bay Devil Rays]] affiliate<br /> * [[Dusty Baker]] - former Major League baseball player and current manager of the [[Cincinnati Reds]]<br /> * [[Dallas Braden]] - left-handed pitcher for the [[Oakland Athletics]]<br /> * [[Jarrett Bush]] - [[defensive back]] for the [[Green Bay Packers]]<br /> * [[Tony Eason]] - eight-year [[National Football League|NFL]] [[quarterback]] for the [[New England Patriots]] and [[New York Jets]].
