You are correct that the "map is rather stale". It is based on data
available before the split of the former Soviet Union, and that data is
not available for current country boundaries. You would be best advised
to use one of the other map-generating packages, which uses more readily
available data formats such as shapefiles.. See the CRAN Spatial task view.

Hello folks,
I am trying to use maps library to visualize a metric over the world map.
But I notice that the world map is rather stale. For instance, I don't see
any Ukraine country in the set of countries. I wonder if anyone else has
run into this before. Is there a newer library to use for such a use-case
or is there a quick way around this issue?
Thanks very much,
Hamid
