I want just polygons of country borders. A few major cities would be nice, but I do NOT need streets. I'll want to be able to color each country according to my own list of attributes. I did find an ESRI .lpk file, which I unzipped using 7zip, but it does not seem to contain any shapefiles (two .gdb folders containing dozens of files with extensions I don't know). Geofabrik has individual European countries, including streets, but that's more detail than I want. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
