World, Countries, Boundaries
This layer contains the detailed boundaries of countries around the world. This polygon file is intended for medium scale thematic mapping and analysis.
The spatial data were obtained from the Natural Earth website. The data are suitable for making schematic maps of the world and are intended for use at a scale no larger than 1:50,000,000. Attributes were modified to include country name, abbreviation, type, population, GDP, economy, and a variety of identification information. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.
"There are 247 countries in the world. Greenland as separate from Denmark. Countries distinguish between metropolitan (homeland) and independent and semi-independent portions of sovereign states. Each country is coded with a world region that roughly follows the United Nations setup. Countries are coded with standard ISO and FIPS codes. French INSEE codes are also included." - Natural Earth
