This week’s featured resource for writers is the CIA’s World Fact Book.  If you’re writing an article that deals with a location you’re not familiar with, or even for researching settings for a novel, the World Fact Book has a nice collection of information including general demographics of populations, government descriptions of a large number of countries, economic and military information, and more.
