world_110m

World land and country boundaries at 1:110 million scale

A 1:110,000,000-scale world map in TopoJSON format, optimized for web-based visualization. The simplified geographic boundaries focus on two key elements: land masses and country borders with their corresponding codes. The high level of generalization removes small geographic details while maintaining recognizable global features, making it ideal for overview maps and basic world visualizations. This format provides efficient compression compared to GeoJSON, reducing file size for web use. Part of the widely-used TopoJSON World Atlas collection, this has become a standard resource for creating web-based world maps where precise boundary detail isn't required.
