I tried and fixed a great deal of the german border but it was too
much work
and there are regions where I do not know in details where the border
actually
should be.
As for fixing the other >100 countries.... sorry, I  have a live, a
work and
other open-source projects  to keep me busy. Not the least  of wich is
writing
my navigation-software that shall use the borders.
