To solve the problem we need to subtract from:

these 2:

thats not only a bug but also a feature. I'm really happy for my current project to have your lake-free data because lakes and all the small islands would make too much noise.
So maybe you can add a "inland_water_bodies" version but not replace the current?

[simonepri]

@indus May I ask you why 'countries-maritime' is not appropriate for your project if you can accept waters bodies?

[indus]

In the moment it is appropriate for my project. But I thought from the title of this issue you are going to change it so it also includes lakes inside country. After that change it wouldn't be appropriate anymore. So i just wanted to ask you to keep both versions - with and without lakes inside countries.

[simonepri]

@indus Yes, we will keep both, maybe I'll rename it.
world-lands will be a land-only map (without lakes, rivers, oceans and seas)
world-coasts will be the current world-land.

countries-coastline will be the same
countries-territories will be without waters

What do you think??
Have you a better name? I'm not happy with them.

Just an you provide us an use case for this kind of map?
Thank You!!

The map in my project is just the background reference to drop some informations on. For design reasons I only want to show the outline of the world and not a solid filled landmass. By doing so all the wholes (aka lakes) would distract from the information on top because only having the lines of a polygon with wholes give the viewer some challange of what is inside and what is outside - what is land and what is water. Right now I'm using mapboxs vectordata but even on the lowest zoom level it shows Great Lakes, Lake Victoria, Lake Baikal, etc. Now I want to use one of your low resolution geojsons instead.

I've reread your comment and I wonder what land-only without oceans would look like?
