Initially intended for Visionscarto, these files are available to all. We derived them from Natural Earth’s 110m and 50m cultural vector files, but added several modifications, in particular to reflect the United Nations’ position on the integrity of Ukraine and the non-self-governing territory of Western Sahara. Since nothing is simple in the world, these files also include three self-governing entities with an undecided UN status: Somaliland, Taiwan, and Kosovo. This notebook documents the changes we made, with respect to the original files published by Natural Earth.

This is a good read and especially a valuable patch to the ubiquitous Natural Earth base maps. Thank you @fil!
