The World Countries Generalized layer provides a simplified representation of global country boundaries, optimized for performance and visibility at broader scales (1:5,000,000 and beyond). Developed by Esri using data from Garmin International, the CIA World Factbook, and the National Geographic Society, this layer is updated annually to reflect changes in country names and significant borders. Ideal for applications requiring an authoritative, generalized world basemap.
Make world maps, choropleths, or country-selection tools using ready-made country polygons. You can overlay your data, build simple interactive maps, or use the layer for spatial joins and analytics. The boundaries are simplified to draw fast at global scales, so they’re ideal for dashboards and web maps but not for fine local borders. You access it directly through ArcGIS FeatureServer endpoints without signing up.
