Dear Gregor,

here's my contribution:

ESRI lets you zoom on the world map and download the relevant
shapefiles. I have used them and it works just fine for country
boundaries. There is Slovenija too (the maps look post-1991 ;^))

I have a very raw tutorial on the subject of drawing maps, I'm sending
it this evening from home (I don't have it here).

Hello!

I am a total newbie to map handling, but a keen R user. I have some
estimates by numbers per country (in names, such as Germany, France,
...) and would like to add this information with use of color on world
and perhaps additionally to Europe map. How can this be achieved in R?
Any pointers to relevant literature/tutorials would be fine.

Many thanks!
