    U.S. National Parks

pulled from Data.gov as a zipped shapefile on 4/11/2015
simplified geometry in Quantum GIS (Vector menu -> Geometry tools -> Simplify Geometries)
simplified the zipped shapefile down from about 15mb to 373KB
then filtered to only show UNIT_TYPE = National Park
saved as geojson from QGIS
converted to TopoJSON with a final file size of only 34KB!
UPDATE: Apparently all of the above conversion and simplification could have been accomplished via the TopoJSON CLI

Useful ogr2ogr and TopoJSON commands
more info here and here

ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -t_srs EPSG:4326 natparks4326.geojson .\NationalParks4.geojson
topojson -o natparks.json .\natparks4326.geojson -p UNIT_CODE,UNIT_NAME,UNIT_TYPE
