states: Administrative Units (States, Provinces, and Regions)

Description

A simplified PackedSpatVector containing state-level polygons (e.g., provinces, departments, regions) for countries worldwide. Names and parent countries (geonunit) were cleaned (lowercase, accents removed).

Usage

states

Format

A PackedSpatVector object with polygons of administrative divisions and one attribute:

name

State/province/region name.

Details

The dataset was generated from rnaturalearth::ne_states(). The following processing steps were applied:

• kept only administrative types: "Province", "State", "Department", "Region", "Federal District";

• selected only "name" and "geonunit" columns;

• both fields were cleaned via tolower() and remove_accent();

• records where state name = country name were removed;

• geometries were simplified using terra::simplifyGeom(tolerance = 0.05);

• wrapped with terra::wrap() for internal storage.

Examples

data(states)
states <- terra::unwrap(states)
terra::plot(states)
