An anonymous voxel writes "Global Administrative Areas is offering free shapefiles containing boundaries of countries and all levels of administrative subdivisions, for free and in a multitude of formats. The data quality is excellent and a worthwhile download if seeking shape file data."
Here's the description from the site: "GADM is a spatial database of the location of the world's administrative areas (or adminstrative boundaries) for use in GIS and similar software. Administrative areas in this database are countries and lower level subdivisions such as provinces, departments, bibhag, bundeslander, daerah istimewa, fivondronana, krong, landsvæðun, opština, sous-préfectures, counties, and thana. GADM describes where these administrative areas are (the "spatial features"), and for each area it provides some attributes, foremost being the name and variant names.
The current version is 1.0"
