What it shows

  • 258: mapped boundary features
  • 15: features with multiple viewpoint codes
  • 4: largest number of distinct codes

Keep the source viewpoint with a boundary-derived result. A single country-code column can hide meaningful differences in representation.

Method

Compare nonmissing ADM0_A3 viewpoint attributes within each Natural Earth feature. Orange indicates differing codes, not a legal judgment. The underlying geometry is unchanged.
