Most OpenStreetMap maps use the Natural Earth boundary data for showing
national boundaries at the lowest zoom levels. On
http://www.imagico.de/map/boundaries_download_en.php
you can now find a replacement for that based on OSM data and simplified
specifically for the common web map zoom levels. Also the maritime
boundaries are trimmed to where they are actually useful.
Some more background information is available on
http://blog.imagico.de/rendering-boundaries/
and a simple map showing the data on
