Some time ago I've started to create such an list for the country boundaries 
fo myself. The last version you can see here: 
http://daswaldhorn.piranho.de/OSM/Grenzrelation_2010_04_24.php

The raw data you get with the XAPI, (see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi), in this case with 
http://xapi.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation%5Badmin_level=2%5D (you will 
get ca. 430 MB du to an error in the XAPI!).

This list is not yet finished, some island states of oceania are missing.

Greetings, Carsten

[OSM-talk] Extracting administrative division boundaries from OSM

[Paul Houle]

Hi,  I'm trying to construct a 'spatial control' structure for the 
Earth that's entirely based on CC-BY and CC-BY-SA compatible data.

Something I'm looking at right now is creating a complete set of 
country boundaries and second-level administrative divisions.  
(Third-level might be nice too,  but that might be asking a lot)

I've got a fairly complete list of items with ISO 3166-2 country 
codes and I'd like to extract shapes for these.  I could get them out of 
Yahoo's WEO shapes but these really look bad.  I can see that these 
shapes are in OSM,  but I've got no idea how to get them out.  Can 
anybody point me to where to get started?
