[Image] world map

[Aniruddha S. Khadkikar]

Hi Benjamin,
Go to the following links:
http://www.diva-gis.org/Data.htm
There you will find administrative boundaries country wise and also for 
the entire world. The first link is for country level data. You can then 
merge all the shapefiles.

The second site is:
http://www.mapability.com/index1.html
Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 is an updated and improved version of the 
National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Digital Chart of the World 
(DCW®). VMap Level 0 includes major road and rail networks, hydrologic 
drainage systems, utility networks (cross-country pipelines and 
communication lines), major airports, elevation contours, coastlines, 
international boundaries and populated places.

However the data is in a binary format, but Arcview can help you with 
that. You may also try and use Microdem which has an import/export 
option for vmap data.

Hope this helps.
