Several people brought to my attention that the current shapefiles hosted at
GADM are not up-to-date as the one I plotted. Well,
they where in the past (just look at their front figure).
Apparently they updated to the same bad boundaries that are present in GMT and basemap. Unfortunately I cannot host the good old ones, because their license do do allow re-distribution of their data. That policy is kind of against their logo "Boundaries without limits", maybe "Boundaries with some limits would be more appropriated".
Unfortunately, I'm searching without success for a substitute. The Brazilian
IBGE provide only KML and KMZ files that,
when converted, are not readable by basemap.
As soon as I find an alternative source I'll update the post.
