===Original Title=== | |||
To create this layer, two layers were used: "Admin 0 – Countries" and "Lakes + Reservoirs" | |||
=== Description === | |||
The countries' layer distinguishes between metropolitan (homeland) and independent and semi-independent portions of sovereign states. Each country is coded with a world region that roughly follows the United Nations setup. | |||

The source countries' layer was combined with the source lakes layer and the geometries were simplified.
