Nothing too exciting I'm afraid. I've got this object I call an atlas 
which is a collection of maps. Each map specifies the list of shapes 
(=countries/states/counties etc) that make up the particular map.

Anyway, to produce this picture I just numbered each country according 
to the order it appears in the list in my 'World' map. This is just a 
toy I've been using for testing.

I did see that -- I'll have to see about making the colour map choice 
available to everyone (or maybe just check today's date and use spring, 
summer, autumn, winter as appropriate).
