Hi, I’m Theo Madsen, the writer, owner, and history enthusiast behind this blog. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by the intricacies of human civilization, our history, cultures, achievements, and even our failures.
Reading about history is more than a hobby for me; it’s a passion. Unlike many who find joy in fishing, gardening, or knitting, I find my happiness in uncovering stories about our shared past.
How It All Started
This blog was born from my love of writing and my fascination with everything related to civilization. I realized I wanted a space to share my musings, insights, and the knowledge I’ve gathered along the way.
The name is a nod to the immense amount of data out there that shapes our understanding of the world, much like the real CIA World Factbook, but with my personal twist. Here, you’ll find a mix of historical tidbits, thoughtful reflections, and explorations of how our past shapes our present and future.
My Values and Philosophy
I believe history is not just a subject for academics or textbooks—it’s a living, breathing narrative that connects us all. Through my writing, I aim to make history engaging and relatable, sparking curiosity in my readers.
This blog is also a celebration of learning and storytelling. My goal is to create a space where we can explore the world’s history together, one post at a time. If you want to learn more about the philosophy behind this blog, check my editorial policy page.
Looking Ahead
As I continue on this journey, I hope to expand the topics I cover and deepen my research. My dream is for CIAWorldFactbook.us to become a go-to resource for history enthusiasts who, like me, are curious about the stories behind our civilization.
Let’s Connect
I invite you to join me on this adventure. Dive into the articles, share your thoughts, and let’s discuss what makes our world tick. If you enjoy history as much as I do, you’re in the right place.
