Test data contain invalid geometries

See original GitHub issue

countries.geo.json contains self-intersecting Multipolygons, which is illegal. GeoJSON obviously doesn’t care about that, but JTS doesn’t accept them, and neither would e.g. PostGIS.

I would suspect that the tool which was used to simplify the geometry didn’t care about topology.

This is a bit mean because it prevents me from experimenting with standard geometric algorithms. ,-)
