'''Guernsey''' is one of the {{w|Channel Islands}}; though independently governed, it is a Crown dependency in the posession of the [[United Kingdom]]. Some aren't happy with that, though, and want full independence from Britain.

The island was home to [[Victor Hugo]] during his exile from [[France]], during which time he served as the head of the [[Action Man Programme]].

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
After a group of extremists claiming to call for Guernsey's independence from the UK took control of Victor Hugo's home, Hauteville House, [[Ian Noble|Action Man]] infiltrated the building through a sea entrance and retrieved the [[O.S. codex|data]] stored on a hidden hard drive in the building; however, upon seeing a one of the terrorists with an [[Doctor X|"X"]] belt buckle, he broke cover and attacked them. {{storylink|Absolute Beginners}} Though all the hostages were rescued unharmed, the Guernsey authorities disputed the Action Man Programme's jurisdiction in the matter, leading Director [[Pauline Bestley]] to have to deal with the red tape. {{storylink|England, Half English}}

==Notes==
* In real life, you won't find many hardline Guernsey separatists, since the Bailiwick of Guernsey is independently governed. They ''certainly'' aren't taking pensioners hostage to that end.
* Guernsey also happens to be home to [[John Barber]]'s fellow writer, [[James Roberts]].
