Time
 

What time is it there?  Very convenient link for knowing when to call, or NOT to call, your editor or interviewee.

And at a different page in the same site calendars for ANY year with days of weeks, phase of the moon and other accuracy essentials.
 
 

Space

Does this place exist?  Search for a place name if you want to be certain you are talking about a fictional place.  Does Buck Snort, Tennesse really exist?  Better find out before you make use of the name.

Where is it?  Is it flat or hilly?  Is there really a river nearby?  Access geographic maps such as topographic maps to find out this information.  But for simple, "How do I get there? questions or if you just want to find out driving directions use a travel map.

How do I get there?  Several extremely popular but distinct mapping services exist.
 

idn't that country used to have a different name? Between this, this, and this site you should be able to find out something about what used to be called or is called what you know isn't the proper name of the place you need to name.  But the best place to start is definitely with the onomastikon.
 

Pretty pictures of space.  Most in the public domain.

Translation.

Latin phrases.

Examples
 
 

Crime and Politics

Well they go together in my mind...
Access Criminal Records.  Great not just for accessing way too much personal information, it give writers a chance to look up different types of records so they can be discussed accurately in nonfiction pieces or believably added as story elements.
