World country and continent boundary polygons

Source: R/data.R
world_data.Rd

A global map of country and territory boundaries whose attributes back anyFit's spatial helpers. The name and continent columns are the ones matched when a country or continent is supplied to mask.sxts() and zonal_stats(), so the exact spelling in these columns is what those arguments expect (e.g. the United Kingdom is stored as "U.K. of Great Britain and Northern Ireland").
