A country's neighbours — neighbors • countryatlas

Which countries border a given country (or countries) – a vectorised lookup built on country_borders().

Usage

neighbors(x, origin = "country.name", scale = "small")

Arguments

x: A vector of country names or codes.
origin: How to read x (default "country.name").
scale: Natural Earth resolution to compute adjacency from.

Value

A tibble with one row per (iso3c, neighbor) pair: the queried country's iso3c, and each bordering country's iso3c and country name (neighbor, neighbor_country). Countries with no land border (islands, e.g. Japan, Madagascar) return zero rows.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
neighbors("France")
neighbors(c("FRA", "JPN"), origin = "iso3c")
} # }
