Hello,
I have a shapefile of selected countries across the globe, but when I add it to arcmap, it places the countries really small in the middle of the atlantic ocean on my esri basemap; the projections are the same. How do I make the polygons (countries) in the shapefile bigger so that they line up with the basemap I am using?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

Ahh that makes alot more sense. I dont think you can georeference SVGs, so the only hope is to either generate a reference file that is right, or redigitize it.
However, you might just grab a digitized and referenced shapefile of countries of the world, like this free one
http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php
And just filter the countries you want, instead of starting from scratch.
