In the meantime i've noticed, there's an Intensity 
map<http://code.google.com/intl/cs-CZ/apis/chart/interactive/docs/examples.html#intensity_map_example>,
 
which may be a workaround for what i need, but without labels on countries 
the map loses its informational value.
Just look at number and size of countries in Europe - there's almost 
impossible to distinguish each country when the map is not large enough.

Even if citizen distiguish its own country on the map, getting the real 
value (population e.g.) of the country is only guessing according to the 
color hue.

I'll probably do similar workaround, but with geo 
map<http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#geo_map> 
and 
some tabs above the map (for switching between metrics).

It's a bit pitty, that new 
Geochart<http://code.google.com/intl/cs-CZ/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart.html>(in
 SVG) is actually in "beta" and is a bit slow when showing labels over 
countries (even in last dev build of Chrome).
I would be happy to use open technologies, like SVG, but this is now 
unusable.
I guess you guys are working hard on that to make it better and i'm looking 
forward, when this will be ready to use on production.

Anyway all mentioned workarounds let me display only one metrics on the map, 
no more, so the user cannot easily compare more metrics on one map.
