The best source of country boundaries ("Admin 0") and their first-level internal boundaries ("Admin 1") is Natural Earth data.

http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-cultural-vectors/

It's approximately a bazillion times easier to use these, than extracting the same information from OpenStreetMap.

Do a text search on this FAQ site about keywords like boundary, extract, administarive, borders etc.

There are already some topics here dealing exactly with your aim.
