If we want Satellite images, NASA provides great imagery called Blue Marble Next Generation for free, the August picture for example
http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_detail.php?id=7131

The readme.pdf provides all information necessary.
The projection is good for writing easy locating code, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_carree

But the data is huge - not to speak of the 500m resolution which is 2.2GB, the 8km resolution is 8.3MB.

I did not find comparable political maps, but there is plenty of links at
