World Countries (Generalized) represents generalized boundaries for the countries of the world as of August 2022. The generalized political boundaries improve draw performance and effectiveness at a global or continental level. This layer is best viewed out beyond a scale of 1:5,000,000.
This layer's geography was developed by Esri and sourced from the National Geographic Society the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (The World Factbook) and Garmin International, Inc. for use as a world basemap. It is updated annually as country names or significant borders change.
