FREE KML world countries polygon file - admin level 1

Countries of the world KML file, download for free and it can be use for any purpose, the file is a KML polygon file of  the countries in the world in the Natural Earth datasets.

Previous post covered the countries of the world here.

This post covers another Natural Earth dataset for the Admin level 1.

Download the KML here: WorldPoly Admin 1 file
You can download the file and use it for whatever you want but there maybe errors or mistakes that you need to check yourself.

I generated the file with SAP ABAP which reads the Natural Earth country shapefile in my geoserver in the clouds.

The country ISO codes were used to colour by region  from the UN site here and compared against SAP table T005. The kml file is missing some countries/info such as Somalia land, Western Sahara as these are missing in the natural earth dataset I am using.

*The Natural Earth Dataset has French Guiana  with the ISO code for France. The ABAP code reads the ISO code to determine the colour of the polygon. More thematic mapping to come.

Looks  like this in Google Earth


Admin Level one details showing where I live.......
