Just in case you can't access QGIS, I've created three separate shapefiles and put them on dropbox. The projection of these shapefiles is EPSG:4326 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71658964/miconesia.zip I used ogrinfo on the original file and it tells me the projection is EPSG:4326, I think, for example: ogrinfo -so FSM_adm_SBOC_PCRAFI.gdb state Had to open data source read-only. INFO: Open of `FSM_adm_SBOC_PCRAFI.gdb' using driver `OpenFileGDB' successful. Layer name: State Geometry: Multi Polygon Feature Count: 4 Extent: (137.491872, 1.022685) - (163.051392, 10.036174) Layer SRS WKT: GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984", DATUM["WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS_84",6378137.0,298.257223563]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0], UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]] FID Column = OBJECTID Geometry Column = Shape SID: Real (0.0) State: String (0.0) Census_00: Real (0.0) Proj_10: Real (0.0) Shape_Length: Real (0.0) Shape_Area: Real (0.0) Looking at your backdrop, I can see it has come from Google Maps. So you will probably want to convert the shapefiles to EPSG:3857 - WGS84 / Pseudo Mercator, or just save the file geodatabase to a shapefile in that CRS. Another dataset you may also be interested in is the WMS service [GSJ CCOP Combined Bedrock and Superficial Geology and Age](https://gbank.gsj.jp/ows/GSJ_CCOP_Combined_Bedrock_and_Superficial_Geology_and_Age/wms?)
