Admin 1 – States, provinces
Natural Earth shows de facto boundaries by default according to who controls the territory, versus de jure. Adjusted to taste which boundaries are shown, hidden, and how they are rendered using the fclass_* properties to create POV worldviews.
About
Internal, first-order administrative boundaries and polygons for just the United States and Canada at this time. For more detailed breakdowns for most countries in the world, see 10m admin-1. Boundary lines do not duplicate each other. Boundary lines are only present on internal boundaries (not coastlines or admin-0 boundaries).
How-to
Use the following selection statement to derive this theme from the 50m lakes:
“ScaleRank” <=0 Then punch those selected features through the 50m admin-1 and save result as a new feature class. Issues
All countries with 10m admin-1 with scale ranks 1 to 5 should be present in this file. Currently only the United States and Canada are represented.
Boundaries should perfectly match the following 50m NEV themes:
Coastline, lake shoreline, admin-0 country boundary, river and lake centerlines.
