abstract: 'Provides the boundaries of the provinces, cantons and parishes of Ecuador
  as ''sf'' objects, identified by the codes of the national political-administrative
  division (DPA, "División Político-Administrativa"), ready to be mapped and joined
  with health, epidemiological surveillance or other data. The three levels nest exactly
  and are offered in two resolutions: a light one for maps and dashboards and a detailed
  one for spatial analysis. The layers are derived from the open data of the Territorial
  Organization of the State published by the National Committee of Internal Boundaries
  (CONALI, Ministry of Government of Ecuador) under a CC BY licence <https://www.datosabiertos.gob.ec/>,
  and are downloaded on first use as ''GeoPackage'' files, verified and cached locally.
  Includes a catalogue of DPA codes, a table to update codes from earlier versions,
  helpers to clean codes and place names, and tools to relocate the Galapagos Islands
  in national maps. Documentation is in Spanish.'
