Have you looked at package rnaturalearth? There's a web site for the
dataset it interfaces: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/ - it looks like
there's more information about its origins and processing that went on
than behind GADM.

Dear list members,
I am looking for a global accurate spatial database for countries'
administrative boundaries.
I tried the raster package, using the getData function and the GADM
database and rgeoboundaries for the geoboundaries database, but I get
differences between them.
Is there any other spatial database for administrative boundaries
accessible from R, so I can compare and decide which one is the most
accurate of the open access spatial database for the countries I am
interested?
Thank you very much in advance.
Manuel
