Hello

One simple way of doing it is to specify the xlim and ylim of your map, 
e.g. library(maps)
map('world', 'Norway', xlim=c(5, 33), ylim=c(55, 75))

btw. the reason why Norway comes out so small when writing only

map('world', 'Norway')

is due to the Bouvet Island, located south (54 degrees south) in the 
Atlantic Ocean.

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, Tromsø 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.

Sorry, I should have typed

 library(maps)
 library(mapdata)
 map(worldHires,bolivia)

   which indeed shows a correctly-looking map. 

I also tried

 map(worldHires,sweden)
 map(worldHires,denmark)  # which comes out very small since it  
   # includes the Faroe   
   # islands properly far-
# away

 map(worldHires,andorra)
 map(worldHires,norway)  # which for some reason is smaller in

but I cannot find any function to find the avalable region names in

They are in the .N file for the appropriate map.

Try:
library(maps)

file.show(paste(Sys.getenv(worldMapEnv), world.N, sep=/))

These ASCII files are in the form:

 In S, there was a function called usa() that
