A data frame containing country names as used by Gapminder and the maps
package to facilitate conversation between the two.
data(Countries)A data frame with 258 observations on the following variables.
maptoolsregion name http://mappinghacks.com/ data sets
gapmindercountry name in Gapminder data sets
mapsregion name in maps data sets
The "countries" in the maps data include several other geographic regions (bodies
of water, islands belonging to other countries, Hawaii, etc.) that are not countries.
Furthermore, the maps countries do not include many of the countries that
have been created since ca. 2000. The mapping is therefore many-to-many, and also
includes some NAs when there is no appropriate mapping. Bodies of water in the
maps data, for example, are not assigned a country in the Gapminder.
