International Boundaries Polygons Level 1 - GADM (2018)

This dataset is originally created by GADM. GADM wants to map the administrative areas of all countries, at all levels of sub-division using a high spatial resolution and a extensive set of attributes. More information can be found in the <href="https://gadm.org/metadata.html" target="_blank">GADM online metadata document</a>.

The current version is 3.6 (released on 6 May 2018). It delimits 386,735 administrative areas. Original data can be downloaded by country or for the entire world from <href= "https://gadm.org/data.html" target= "_blank">GADM website</a>.

UNEP/GRID-Geneva made available for display purpose the first level of subnational administrative boundaries based on GADM version 3.6 (with simplified geometries using the Douglas-Peucker simplification algorithm in QGIS with 0.001 threshold value).
