Hi Benjamin,
Go to the following links:
http://www.diva-gis.org/Data.htm
There you will find administrative boundaries country wise and also for
the entire world. The first link is for country level data. You can then
merge all the shapefiles.
The second site is:
http://www.mapability.com/index1.html
Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 is an updated and improved version of the
National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Digital Chart of the World
(DCW®). VMap Level 0 includes major road and rail networks, hydrologic
drainage systems, utility networks (cross-country pipelines and
communication lines), major airports, elevation contours, coastlines,
international boundaries and populated places.
However the data is in a binary format, but Arcview can help you with
that. You may also try and use Microdem which has an import/export
option for vmap data.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
I'm completly newbie about cartography, so I beg your pardon in advance
for asking this question.
For a web application, we need a georeferenced map of the world, only with
borders (and an other one of Europe).
The aim is to be able to show on these maps some points we know the
longitude and latitude.
Where to find this kind of basic maps?
Thanks in advance for your help.
