How to generate geoJson data?

Question

I want to generate geoJson data for an country and its all the states. In all the examples I have seen, all the data is for USA.

I would like to know where and how can I get geoJson data for other countries and its corresponding all the states? Is it even possible?

I documented my steps for generating geoJSON for country regions here http://stackoverflow.com/a/17267249/352311 — bburrier, Jun 24 '13 at 02:40

Is it easy to remove countries, so that I end up with just 1 or 2 countries? – Gerard Dec 10 '15 at 10:34
Countries in this data set are each contained in a different file, so it is very easy to get just the country or countries you need. – Alison R. Dec 15 '15 at 03:39

this is a very interesting resource... but are this files really in geojson format? I tried to convert them to topojson, but it didn't work. They seem to be rather csv than json... – otmezger Sep 17 '13 at 17:22
