See the fillstates.py and plotcities.py examples.
Basemap does not have a built-in city dataset, but you can draw political boundaries with the drawcountries and drawstates methods. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/basemap_api.html for details. Note that the drawstates methods just draws states/provinces in North America (Mexico, Canada and the U.S.) -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
