Hi,
is there a chance that you will release admin 1 file small scaled including all countries?
I am struggling for a while to create a small version with open source tools (postgis’ simplify geom etc.). But the results are not really good. I took a look at the small version containing the US – no way for me to create something of this quality. It would be great to have a version with all countries.
Thank you for this project

Jan,
While we don’t plan on doing this for all countries, we have considered for between 10 and 20 countries around the world that have large adm-1 (in population or geographic area). What countries would you add to the list?

Nathaniel,
my requirements are pretty specific – I want to create thematic maps about agriculture – therefore my list might not be interesting for others at all. Anyway, my list would be a mixture of top agriculture commodity exporters and countries with the largest arable land area. Something like this (probably a bit too Euro-centric):
DE|Germany
US|USA
NL|Netherlands
IT|Italy
FR|France
GB|United Kingdom
DK|Denmark
RU|Russia
PL|Poland
ZA|South Africa
BR|Brazil
AR|Argentina
ES|Spain
UA|Ukraine
CA|Canada
CN|China
AU|Australia

P.S.:
I noticed recently that google chart supports admin1 levels now (all countries afaik). But unfortunately as a small png only. That is my problem: google is too small and gadm/naturalearthdata far too big to create a simple svg based website.
My list would be too long, including 28 countries and over 700 features:
ADM0 NAME COUNT
AFG Afghanistan 34
ARG Argentina 23
AUS Australia 16
BGD Bangladesh 6
BRA Brazil 27
CAN Canada 13
CHL Chile 15
CHN China 32
COD Congo (Kinshasa) 11
DEU Germany 16
EGY Egypt 25
ESP Spain 19
ETH Ethiopia 11
FRA France 23
IDN Indonesia 33
IND India 35
IRQ Iraq 18
ITA Italy 20
JPN Japan 48
KOR Korea, South 17
MEX Mexico 32
NGA Nigeria 38
PAK Pakistan 8
POL Poland 16
RUS Russia 90
SDN Sudan 27
USA United States of America 51
ZAF South Africa 9
