International Boundaries Polygons Level 0 - ESRI
World Countries is a detailed dataset of country level boundaries which can be used at both large and small scales. It has been designed to be used as a basemap and includes an additional Disputed Boundaries layer that can be used to edit boundaries to fit a users needs and view of the political world.
Included are attributes for local and official names and country codes, along with continent and display fields. Particularly useful are the Land_Type and Land_Rank fields which separate polygons based on their size. These attributes can be used for rendering at different scales by providing the ability to turn off small islands which may clutter small scale views.

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add
and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).
Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more
comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor
to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so
know what you do :-)
