If we want Satellite images, NASA provides great imagery called Blue Marble Next Generation for free, the August picture for example

The readme.pdf provides all information necessary.
The projection is good for writing easy locating code, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_carree

But the data is huge - not to speak of the 500m resolution which is 2.2GB, the 8km resolution is 8.3MB.

I did not find comparable political maps, but there is plenty of links at
