# Something like

library(maptools)
data(wrld_simpl)

plot(wrld_simpl,border=NA,col='blue',axes=T, xlim=c(100,130),
ylim=c(-40,30))
par(plt = c(0.2, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8), new = TRUE)
plot(wrld_simpl,border=NA,col='green',bg='white',axes=F)

# If you put axes on the inset, they will fall over the background map --
but, you could fix that by drawing a white rectangle there first (e.g. using
rect).
