I am searching for a OSM file with the country's boundaries only. The boundaries could be simplified to save file size. How can I create such? Or download a ready made one? EDIT: Country names and maybe the capital cities would be nice as well. EDIT2: The final aim is to get a OsmAnd basemap - but without all the streets, so it becomes very small in size and provides just a rough overview of the world. |

Use Natural Earth shapefiles http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/ These can be converted to OSM formats using ogr2ogr or possibly read into JOSM. (Low zoom levels on the main slippy map use this data already). I downloaded http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/ne_10m_admin_0_countries.zip and opened in in JOSM via the OpenData plugin. How can I convert the tags to proper OSM country tags (with the names)

Either manually (which is what I tend to do) or programmatically using ogr2osm http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ogr2osm (and possibly ogr2ogr too).

If you're after simplified country data, a source like Natural Earth is a better option. If you particularly want all the OSM border data and just the border data, the osmborder_filter program from https://github.com/pnorman/osmborder is able to generate this. That looks good ... I want to have the OSM-tagged data ... so 60 minutes later I have 600 MB file with the borders and I fail to simplify them with Osmosis ... https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/54521/cant-get-osmosis-to-read-a-pbf
