   Does anyone know of any good sources of world map data which defines
   country borders ? I am familiar with the MWDB-II database but this
   does not suit my requirements since I need to be able to detect
   mouse clicks in a region representing a single country. MWDB-II data
   consists of separate polyline segments for coasts, borders, lakes etc.
   What I need is a single set of points representing each country.

   Thanks in advance.
