Natural Earth vector data, modified & simplified

A modification of topojson/world-atlas 110m and 50m files, with various modifications intended for Visionscarto:

• fixes topology issues (border of Sudan; North Korea…)
• adds a few shapes (Kuril Islands; Gaza)
• better reflects the UN views (Ukraine; Western Sahara)
• adds names and ids (Norway; Kosovo; North Macedonia…)
• adds 3-letter codes (as properties.a3)
• quantized and optimized

Full documentation and examples notebook.

Usage

Consume these files with TopoJSON:

const world = await fetch("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/world/110m.json").then(d => d.json());
const features = topojson.feature(world, world.objects.countries);

const world = await fetch("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/world/50m.json").then(d => d.json());
const land = topojson.feature(world, world.objects.land);
