Geodata [data package][datapackage] providing geojson polygons for the states in the USA.
## Data
The data comes from [Natural Earth][naturalearth], a community effort to make visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software at small scale.
This dataset covers the United States of America. admin1 are the biggest administrative area below the country : ie the states. See [documentation][doc] for more information.
The shape of the admin1 have four fields :
* name : the common name for this admin1 subdivision
* id : Natural Earth ``adm1_code`` for the subdivision inside the country. [Documentation][doc] is not clear what this code is, but it could be FIPS
