A topologically more correct map is not easily to find, especially not
in a tiny (shp) file size. Here are some links to examples:
http://www.statsilk.com/maps/download-free-shapefile-maps
But for educating CRS, for quickly finding out where your just opened
dataset is, and for layout overview maps the current one is already very
useful.
To improve it we could:
1. Generalize a correct map in a topological way
2. Remove all administrative boundaries from the current map to avoid
people getting offended by disputed territories for example.
We should also watch out not to start shipping data packages with the
software! Before we know there might be world boundaries at different
scales and people starting to wonder why we do not provide cities,
rivers, roads, coffee corners, ... :)
But a good resource platform (for data, svg, png, styles) in QGIS could
make it easy to ship this kind of data in plugins and make it work for
all users. Which was my original question.
Kind regards,
Raymond

If you can find a better one or want to clean it I will be happy to
replace it. Just provide some metadata with it this time so we know the
provenance.
Thanks!

This is a really nice easter egg and could be of great use for quickly
showing new users the differences of different crs in a course, if the
shape wastn't that full of topology errors :(
Isn't there maybe a less buggy shape available?
