Description

The following steps were performed by Esri: Extracted the FGDB feature class from the subset of DeLorme World Base Map (DWBM). Dissolved on all fields to reduce the number of features and to make the features multipart polygons. Deleted fields not needed. Used overlay, merge, and manual processes to append the fields from Data & Maps 2013 World Administrative Divisions. Checked the appended fields and edited outdated and blank values using the sources.
