\title{Simplified world country polygons}
\description{
 The object loaded is a \code{SpatialPolygonsDataFrame} object containing a slightly modified version of Bjoern Sandvik's improved version of world\_borders.zip - TM\_WORLD\_BORDERS\_SIMPL-0.2.zip dataset from the Mapping Hacks geodata site. The country Polygons objects and the data slot data frame row numbers have been set to the ISO 3166 three letter codes.
