#### Description

The United States Office of the Geographer provides
the Large Scale International Boundary (LSIB) dataset. It is derived
from two other datasets: a LSIB line vector file and the World
Vector Shorelines (WVS) from the National Geospatial-Intelligence
Agency (NGA). The interior boundaries reflect U.S. government policies
on boundaries, boundary disputes, and sovereignty. The exterior
boundaries are derived from the WVS; however, the WVS coastline
data is outdated and generally shifted from between several hundred
meters to over a kilometer. Each feature is the polygonal area
enclosed by interior boundaries and exterior coastlines where applicable,
and many countries consist of multiple features, one per disjoint
region. Each of the 180,741 features is a part of the geometry
of one of the 284 countries described in this dataset.
