Description

The subunits layer for the USA map includes slivers of Canadian provinces (which is unintended).

Screenshots

Steps to reproduce

Open /dist/topojson/usa_50m.json in Mapshaper
Zoom in to the top of Washington state
Note the sliver of British Columbia above Washington

Notes

This issue stems from the fact that the world subunits layer (coming from NE data) is clipped using the shape of the USA from the UN
These two shapes don't match exactly, so the slivers result from the clipping operation
We should check the other subunits layers for a similar issue

"unintended" or giving the game away? :-)
