The files used are from Mike Bostock’s World Atlas TopoJSON project: https://github.com/mbostock/world-atlas

They are in turn derived from Natural Earth data: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vect...

It's jasondavies.com/maps/world-110m.json which is from http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-physical-vect...
