I just had a look at the data since I've worked on boundaries before. 
Unfortunately this seems to be pretty strange: Maplibrary shows quite 
different borders for Lobaye than NaturalEarth does. The Wikipedia 
article linked above shows the same outline as NaturalEarth. So I am not 
really sure which one is the correct one. I'd rather favor the outline 
from NaturalEarth.

Does anyone know more about this?
