How can one compute the proportion of a country's area that lies within a given distance from the country's border?
Actually, you can buffer the polygon itself. You will need to reproject your administrative area polygon's CRS (as many vector data sets are provided in EPSG:4326 (WGS84), with 'units' in latitude/...

What finally worked for me was zooming in and capturing the coordinates of a point precisely in a channel. Points near but not in a channel had given me upslope areas too small to see.
