The '''CIA''', or '''Central Intelligence Agency''', is the [[United States of America|US]]' official intelligence agency. Succeding the '''OSS''' (Office of Strategic Services), the agency was founded in 1947 as a goal to counter the risk of [[Greater Germanic Reich|German]] and [[Empire of Japan|Japanese]] influenced regimes taking over previously democratic and [[Organization of Free Nations|OFN]] influenced nations. It is indirectly independent from the American government as it is part of the United States Intelligence Community. It is directed by Allen W. Dulles, which has been at its head since its foundation. The Headquarters of the '''CIA''' are situated in the unincorporated community of Langley in Fairfax County, Virginia.
