hello
I just discovered the website https://gadm.org/ which hosts shape files for just about ALL countries in the world, including things like North Marshall Islands, for large countries at 3 disaggregation levels (if you prefer you can download the world's shape file from here). I tried Italy and it worked ok. I guess it'd good to mention it in the new geoplot documentation
bye
Stefani
