Place Labels

International place labels based on the M49 “Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use” by the Statistics Division of the United Nations Secretariat. The "Place Labels" layer is derived from the centroids of the 'UN Country Boundaries of the World" polygon dataset to which country names from the United Nations Terminology Database (UNTERM) have been associated. The centroid points are used to move the labels in appropriate locations within the country boundaries.
