> Administrative Boundaries: A global open dataset of national and regional administrative boundaries, this boundary data includes regional names which have been translated into over 40 different languages to support international use.

Oh that is going to be fun. If I recall correctly Google Maps alters the boundaries of places based on the views of the location the map is being requested from to avoid getting in the middle of disputes.

Not "correctly" showing boundaries is a crime in many countries.

Unless you are making a google maps rival, in 99% of cases you won't need those countries with controversial borders.

And unless you have millions and millions of users, no one will care even in those countries.
