Admin 0 – Countries point-of-views

countries_thumb
These optional point-of-view (POV) variants show the worldview for several dozen countries according to de jure boundaries (as prescribed by the home country’s law and/or local conventions) and their global alliances. This results in between 246 and 258 countries, depending on who’s counting, with variation in border alignments.

About

Countries distinguish between metropolitan (homeland) and independent and semi-independent portions of sovereign states. If you want to see the dependent overseas regions broken out (like in ISO codes, see France for example), use map units instead.

Each country is coded with a world region that roughly follows the United Nations setup.

Countries are coded with standard ISO and FIPS codes. French INSEE codes are also included.

Includes some thematic data from the United Nations (1), U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and elsewhere.
