geoBoundaries

geoBoundaries is a spatial database that records the geographic boundaries of administrative zones across the globe. The database is made available in a variety of software formats to support GIS software programs. Unlike other administrative boundary datasets, geoBoundaries is an open product: all boundaries are open and redistributable, and are released alongside extensive metadata and license information to help inform end-users.

AidData collaborates with William & Mary's geoLab to provide the geoBoundaries dataset in GeoQuery. You can find out more about geoBoundaries and download the data at https://www.geoboundaries.org/
