Actually this not a good way, since then you have to trust CIA and its
naming conventions. All large coastal islands are left out (Lofoten
etc), although for some peculiar reason, Troms� seems to be there.
However, even continental parts of eastern Finmark are excluded (I hope
this does not have political implications). Just compare the following
maps:
map("worldHires","Norway", exact=TRUE, type="n")
map("worldHires","Norway", add=TRUE)
map("worldHires","Norway", add=TRUE, exact=TRUE, col="red")
By the way, where is Estonia? Couln't find it with any strings I could
imagine. Some R core developers have frequented Estonia, so it would be
nice to have that in the map.
