User:The Anome/country bounding boxes
A first hack, based on all places in the NGA GNS dataset, not (yet) properly handling latitude wrap-round at ±180°. Country names are mapped from FIPS country codes.
This works pretty well for all countries that do not cross the 180° meridian. Russia is a notable exception. This dataset does not include the United States.
