It is derived\nfrom two other datasets: a LSIB line vector file and the World\nVector Shorelines (WVS) from the National Geospatial-Intelligence\nAgency (NGA). The interior boundaries reflect U.S. government policies\non boundaries, boundary disputes, and sovereignty. The exterior\nboundaries are derived from the WVS; however, the WVS coastline\ndata is outdated and generally shifted from between several hundred\nmeters to over a kilometer. Each feature is the polygonal area\nenclosed by interior boundaries and exterior coastlines where applicable,\nand many countries consist of multiple features, one per disjoint\nregion. Each of the 180,741 features is a part of the geometry\nof one of the 284 countries described in this dataset.\n\n### Table Schema\n\n**Table Schema**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|------------|--------|----------------------------|\n| OBJECTID | STRING | Object ID |\n| COUNTRY_NA | STRING | US-recognized country name |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nThere are no restrictions on use of this US public domain data.\n\n### Explore with Earth Engine\n\n| **Important:** Earth Engine is a platform for petabyte-scale scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial datasets, both for public benefit and for business and government users.
