The download contains the populated data, a field dictionary, source metadata, reuse terms, a change log and file digests. It contains no scripts, libraries, executables or conversion tools.

Coverage

Every feature and every geometry from Natural Earth 1:10 million admin-0 countries. Selected attributes are documented here; political viewpoint attributes are preserved. The scale is 1:10 million, not 10-metre accuracy. Source borders and labels are representations, not legal determinations. Coordinates are WGS84 longitude, latitude.

Read the data

JSON tables are arrays of records. GeoJSON files are FeatureCollections, with data fields under each feature’s properties. data-dictionary.json defines the fields, units, nulls and observed types. metadata.json supplies primary keys and source hashes. Preserve identifiers as text and distinguish missing values from zero.

GeoJSON coordinates are WGS84 in longitude, latitude order. Feature IDs are also present in properties.id.

Example record

This is an actual record from the data. For map layers, the example shows properties; the downloaded GeoJSON also contains the complete geometry.
