The act of gathering secret information about a competing government to provide one's own nation military or political advantage. It may include the study of diplomatic paper, documents, data, broadcast, etc. It may involve spying, a covert operation conducted by an individual operating under secret identity to gather sensitive information on behalf of another agency or country.
