I must have deleted that little guy when I was working on it. I think the Singapore shape has about five vertices :) One of these days, maybe I'll get a chance to fix it. Hi Stephen,

One of these days, maybe I’ll get a chance to fix it.

It's small but it's there... 8) Hi VisGuy,

MS <em>does</em> do business in these countries, which is why they didn't add the shapes. They didn't want to get sued over stubborn border-politics issues. Not that you need to shed tears for Microsoft, but I can see how it gets hard being the Big Man on Campus. Every little move they make becomes a potential "deep pockets" lawsuit. By the way, here's a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRIC" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia definition of BRIC Countries</a>, for those who are interested! - Chris Hi Jono,

I guess Microsoft don't do any business in these countries then!! :-) Thanks for creating this, as I really needed these countries.

Did you try the right-mouse menu on the shapes that you have? There are options: Arrange To Shape and Arrange To Page that put the shapes together automatically. I'm not sure if the various separate maps work together or not, and I think I broke a few of the shapes when I chopped off parts of the countries (like all the northern islands in Canada and Russia. Hey Christoph,
