• Licensing: check GADM’s license and citation requirements before redistribution or publication.
• Versioning: v3.6 is a snapshot—boundaries change over time. For longitudinal work, record the version used.
• File sizes: whole-world shapefiles and gpkg can be very large; prefer country-level downloads when possible.
• Attribute consistency: field names can differ across admin levels; inspect the attribute table before scripting joins.

3.1 Extraction

• Unzip the file into a dedicated folder (avoid long file paths or spaces in folder names).
• For Shapefile: you should see .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj (and optionally .cpg, .qix).
