I've left the following code as a documented single function to make it more readable. And I've used the orb package to hide away a lot of the more common calculations and types (orb).

Small geographic datasets based on open data + tools

Project mention: Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-23

SVG is kind-of terrible for maps, but you can get pretty small with GeoPackage (read: sqlite). I recently spent a bit too long on exactly this problem and ended up with the following.
116KB - 5MB for country borders
16MB - 52MB for ~50K city/county level borders based on geoBoundaries
The range of sizes depends on how much custom compression/simplification you put into it. The source files are about 10x bigger, but that's already pretty small.
Topojson might be even smaller though.
