Country polylines

Hello, do you know if it is possible to extract the georeferenced territorial limits of a country to import them into AutoCAD as polylines using VBA?

If you can use Python,  you may be be able to find something with geopandas

from pyrx_imp import Rx, Ge, Gi, Db, Ap, Ed
import traceback
import geopandas
 
def PyRxCmd_doit():
    try:
        db = Db.curDb()
        model = Db.BlockTableRecord(db.modelSpaceId(), Db.OpenMode.kForWrite)
        gdf = geopandas.read_file("E:/110m_cultural/ne_110m_admin_0_countries.shp")
    
        #do MultiPolygon first
        gdf0 = gdf.loc[gdf.geometry.geometry.type=='MultiPolygon']
        for mp in list(gdf0.geometry):
            for p in mp.geoms:
                pline = Db.Polyline(list(p.exterior.coords))
                pline.setColorIndex(1)
                pline.setClosed(True)
                model.appendAcDbEntity(pline)
 
        gdf1 = gdf.loc[gdf.geometry.geometry.type=='Polygon']
        for p in gdf1.geometry:
            pline = Db.Polyline(list(p.exterior.coords))
            pline.setColorIndex(2)
            pline.setClosed(True)
            model.appendAcDbEntity(pline)

    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)
