I have a dream...

[Jono Bacon]

...a dream in which we can show an accurate map with every LoCo Team in 
the world displayed on it.

Some time ago Melissa worked on a map that showed which countries in the 
world had a LoCo Team. As an example, if you looked at Europe, Germany 
was filled in to indicate that region has a LoCo Team. The map was a 
stunning indication of the spread of LoCo Teams around the world.

This is my dream:

    * We have a map that anyone can visit that identifies which
      countries have teams and shades the entire country/state/region to
      indicate the team.
    * We can also show which cities have teams with a pin pushed in that
      city.
    * You can hover over a country/state/city and a little box will pop
      up to indicate the details for that team.

Now, Google Maps can do most of this: it can allow people to enter push 
pins into a map and have a little box that pops up to indicate details 
about that location. This would be great for the city teams, but as far 
as I am aware it is not possible to shade an entire region or country to 
indicate coverage of a team.

So, does anyone know of a way in which we could achieve all of the above 
bits of the dream, and has anyone done any work on this?
