Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

A geographical map of the country including national traffic routes, stretches of water, and markings of heights. The map must at least be provided at a scale of 1:250,000 (1 cm = 2.5km). Geographic information is instrumental for many use cases, including the mapping of unemployment statistics or demographics, as well as journey planning. See our methodology section for more information.

Scale of 1:250,000 (1 cm = 2.5km)
Markings of national traffic routes
Markings of relief/heights
Markings of water stretches
National borders

How open is the data?

It's not openly licenced
It's not in an open and machine-readable format
It's not downloadable at once
It's up-to-date
It's not publicly available
It's not available free of charge

Details

The geoportal seems to be only for demographic statistics and the I couldn't find any administrative divisions, except the national border. Plus, the silverlight plugin crushes constantly when trying to download a pdf file.
