    I would be grateful if someone would tell me where I can get a shapefile
    
    for the countries of eastern and western Europe.  I want just polygons of
    country borders.  A few major cities would be nice, but I do NOT need 
    streets.  I'll want to be able to color each country according to my own 
    list of attributes.  I did find an ESRI  .lpk file, which I unzipped 
    using 7zip, but it does not seem to contain any shapefiles (two .gdb  
    folders containing dozens of files with extensions I don't know).   
    Geofabrik has individual European countries, including streets, but  
    that's more detail than I want.  Thanks for any advice you can offer.
    
    Steve
