## How did we create this file?

if(require(maps) & require(maptools) & require(raster) & require(rgeos)){
    worldmap <- map("world", fill = TRUE, plot = FALSE)
    CountryBorders <- map2SpatialPolygons(worldmap, IDs = worldmap$names)
    CountryBorders <- gBuffer(CountryBorders, byid = TRUE, width = 0)
    proj4string(CountryBorders) <- CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84")
    CountryBorders
    ## Uncomment the following to store the file as we did
    #save(CountryBorders, file = "CountryBorders.rda", compress = "xz")
