     The object loaded is a 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' object
     containing a slightly modified version of Bjoern Sandvik's
     improved version of world_borders.zip -
     TM_WORLD_BORDERS_SIMPL-0.2.zip dataset from the Mapping Hacks
     geodata site. The country Polygons objects and the data slot data
     frame row numbers have been set to the ISO 3166 three letter
     codes.
