Built by the community and William & Mary geoLab, the geoBoundaries Global Database of Political Administrative Boundaries Database is an online, open license resource of information on administrative boundaries (i.e., state, county) for every country in the world.
This dataset displays level 0 world administrative boundaries. It contains countries as well as non-sovereign territories (like, for instance, French overseas).
The exact number of the levels of administrative divisions and their structure largely varies by country (and sometimes within a single country). Usually, the smaller the country is (by area or population), the fewer levels of administrative divisions it has.
