I was going to use the Polymaps.org library (combined with Protovis) to create a nice vector based world map. However, there example (http://polymaps.org/ex/world.html) uses a GeoJSON from Thematic Mapping, but the countries are coded by name instead of by their 2 digit country codes.

When I pair up my data, I have problems with things like “Russia” vs “Republic of Russia”. Anybody know of a GeoJSON file for countries that uses the ISO 2 or 3 digit codes? It seems crazy to use the names.

Any other SVG type file would be useful too. I could create one, but I feel like it must exist out there and I just don’t know how to find it.
