If you've ever wanted to write that classic colonial spy story set in the searing heat of Turkmenistan, Sierra Leone, or um...Denmark, but got a bit stuck because you've never been further than the chemists at the end of the street, then worry no longer.

Everyone's favourite spooks, the Central Intelligence Agency, have a World Factbook at your disposal, bursting with facts about every outpost you can think of (and those you can't - like Tromelin Island. I bet you couldn't think of that.) Why not set yourself a challenge and write a story convincingly set in Akrotiri?
