library("ggplot2")
library("sf")

shp_file_dir <- file.path("shp/un-world-2012-no-antartica-10pct.shp")
geo <- sf::st_read(shp_file_dir)
geo <- sf::st_transform(geo, crs = "+proj=robin")  # convert to Robinson projection

ggplot(data = geo) +
  geom_sf(fill = "grey", color = "#69b3a2") +
  theme_bw() + coord_sf()
