You might take a look at
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/crsweb/docs/mapgeo.htm
Extremely detailed geographical data can be downloaded there.
I think it's too detailed for your purpose, but you might be able to
reduce the amount of detail.
Also, you could have a look at "az_proj"; this project (basically a set
of PostScript files) contains data from the CIA world data base. I don't
have a URL handy, but a web or ftp search should help.
Unfortunately, neither of these sources is up to date with the latest
political developments (unless those have been added since I used the
data about a year ago).
