A comprehensive global dataset of country boundaries and sovereign states, including ISO codes, administrative names, and regional classifications for 258 entities.
Natural Earth 1:10m Admin 0 – Countries (version 5.1.1), the public-domain world country layer maintained by volunteers under the North American Cartographic Information Society. 258 countries and territories, including dependencies, leases and areas of indeterminate or disputed status. Natural Earth maps de facto boundaries — the situation on the ground — rather than any single government's claimed borders, so disputed areas such as Kosovo, Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, the Siachen Glacier and the Spratly Islands appear as their own units. Join on ADM0_A3, which is populated for every unit; the ISO code columns carry Natural Earth's '-99' placeholder for 22 units, France and Norway among them. Population and GDP attributes from the source have been removed — this dataset supplies geometry and keys.
