Accurate spatial database for country administrative boundaries

My mistake, if you look for country-level boundaries giscoR may be an
option. For administrative boundaries inside a country  (provinces, states,
regions) giscoR only has information for European Union countries and a
NUTS level, that does not match completely with the administrative levels
of the country, so if this is your case it may not fit your needs.

Hope that helped

My two cent: 'giscoR? package  can also be an option. The source of the
file is Eurostat and you can get the data on 5 different resolution levels:

Have you looked at package rnaturalearth? There's a web site for the
dataset it interfaces: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/ - it looks

like

there's more information about its origins and processing that went on
than behind GADM.

Dear list members,

I am looking for a global accurate spatial database for countries'
administrative boundaries.

I tried the raster package, using the getData function and the GADM
database and rgeoboundaries for the geoboundaries database, but I get
differences between them.

Is there any other spatial database for administrative boundaries
accessible from R, so I can compare and decide which one is the most
accurate of the open access spatial database for the countries I am
interested?

Thank you very much in advance.

Manuel
