#' @title Convert Exclusive Economic Zones countries shapefile
#'
#' @description Create a simple features dataframe for combined EEZ/country boundaries.
#'
#' The full resolution file will be named "EEZCountries.rda". In addition,
#' "_05", _02" and "_01" versions of the file will be created that that are
#' simplified to 5\%, 2\% and 1\%. Simplified versions will greatly improve the
#' speed of both searching and plotting.
#'
#' @details A world EEZ/countries shapefile is converted to a simple features dataframe
#' with additional columns of data. To use this function, the file
#' "EEZ_land_union_v3_202003.zip" must be downloaded into the user's spatial
#' directory which is set with \code{setSpatialDataDir()}. The resulting file
#' will be created in this same spatial data directory.
#'
#' @note For polygons with overlapping claims of sovereignty, we arbitrarily
#' assign the polygon to the country identified in the \code{ISO_SOV1} field.
#'
#' The source data is from Version 3 -- 2020-03-17.
#'
#' @note From the source documentation:
#'
#' Geographic Information Systems have become indispensable tools in managing
#' and displaying marine data and information. However, a unique georeferenced
#' standard of marine place names and areas was not available, hampering several
#' marine geographic applications, for example the linking of these locations to
#' databases to integrate data. The purpose of Marine Regions is therefore to
#' create a standard, relational list of geographic names, coupled with information
#' and maps of the geographic location of these features. This will improve access
#' and clarity of the different geographic, marine names such as seas, sandbanks,
#' ridges and bays and display univocally the boundaries of marine biogeographic
#' or managerial marine areas.
#'
#' Marine Regions is an integration of the VLIMAR Gazetteer and the VLIZ Maritime
#' Boundaries Geodatabase. The VLIMAR Gazetteer is a database with geographic,
#' mainly marine names such as seas, sandbanks, seamounts, ridges, bays or even
#' standard sampling stations used in marine research. The geographic cover of
#' the VLIMAR gazetteer is global but initially focused on the Belgian Continental
#' Shelf and the Scheldt Estuary and the Southern Bight of the North Sea. Gradually
#' more regional and global geographic information was added to VLIMAR and combining
#' this information with the Maritime Boundaries database, representing the
#' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the world, led to the creation of marineregions.org.
#'
#' Marine Regions is managed by the Flanders Marine Institute. Funding for the
#' creation of the VLIMAR gazetteer was provided initially through the EU Network
#' of Excellence MarBEF, but also other European initiatives such as Lifewatch
#' provide the necessary funding for the maintenance and management of Marine Regions.
#'
#' Marine Regions depends on data and knowledge sharing from global, European,
#' regional and national data providers and relevant experts. By setting up
#' Collaboration Agreements, data providers will benefit from belonging to the
#' Marine Regions partnership as they would get increased visibility, gain access
#' to a variety of data analysis services which will benefit from integration of
#' several distributed spatial datasetNames, as well as enjoying the benefit of the
#' creation of stable unique identifiers. An example template of a Collaboration
#' Agreement can be found here. Please contact info@marineregions.org if your
#' organisation is interested to explore this collaboration.
