I want to get the shape of Malta. It is very small, and the polygon you get when you type "world" in the coordinates window is not very accurate or at a high resolution. What would you suggest to address this?

I am trying to make a world map that shows the country of origin of certain sample of people. There are countries that have colonies or added territories, like France. If someone is french, this map colors France and all the territories that belong to the country (like French Guiana in America). This doesn't happen with Great Britain and Gibraltar for example. What can I do if I don't want to color every colony of France? just the country
By the way, I have a geojson file with every world boundary and helped me to color France separately, but it doen's have Antarctica or Aral Sea. So I win one thing, but lose the other one. What would you reccommend?
