What exactly is the difference between the without large lakes download and regular download? As an example, I noticed that both of these downloads contain a Nicaraguan lake (ObjectID 24).
Thanks in advance,

The HUGE lakes are punched out of the admin, but the mid-size and small lakes are not. In North America this would be the great lakes. This is so you don’t always have to layer lakes with the admin to achieve “holes” between certain countries. Off the top of my head I think it’s lakes with scaleRank <= 2?
