<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western">Hello, I'm looking for a
source (paid or free it doesn't matter) for a global dataset containing
the countries and states/provinces of the world. I have an older
version (1999) but am in need of more recent (2005+) and better
geo-referenced data for some projects I am working on. They would have
to be available in a vectorized format (.shp preferred). Any pointers
would be appreciated. <br clear="all">
