Does an entirely fake GIS dataset exist that includes basic civic mapping layers and aerial imagery?

I am interested in using a entirely fake GIS dataset in ArcGIS desktop for educational purposes - is anyone aware of such a data set? 

The SQL 'database' world has the infamous "Northwind.db" database with which to work, a fake business relational database. Does the GIS world has something similar? Perhaps somewhere in the 'gaming engine' world (in which if have almost no knowledge). Could someone point me in the right direction? 

Requirements:

  • must be able to download and work with locally (.gdb, .shp)
  • must include address points, road centerlines, and community boundaries

Preferences:

  • includes fake (or at least altered/re-oriented) aerial imagery that aligns with the vector data
  • exists in a WGS84 geographic coordinate system (perhaps in the real-world's ocean, or an uninhabited part of the real-world); or, a factitious coordinate system that uses units resembling latitude/longitude.
