Country boundaries for querying in ArcGIS Online

[AnttiKajanus1]

Does Esri provide any service in the ArcGIS Online where I could query boundaries of the countries by their names? I tried to find one but I didn't see any official production ready services that I could rely on.

The idea behind is to visualize some sales statistics in the map and I would like to color countries with different sets. I don't want to have boundaries in my own data. In the solution I just mashup my demo data with geometries that I get from the ArcGIS Online and then render those to show actual business data.

Hi antti kajanus,
I would have a look for the shapefiles on http://www.naturalearthdata.com/
It is not online, but pretty easy to download.

This one for example could be easily used to solve your problem.

In my sample app, I am using some random FeatureService from the AGOL to provide geometries. I am just confused about this since I was so sure that I could find service under Esri's name.

If I would have found one, that could have been easier to provide to our customers who need to something like this. Maybe we need to fix that ourselves and provide one service into use.
