No part of the maps package knows anything about ISO country codes. I
guess if there was a database of ISO country codes somewhere, it
wouldn't be too difficult to provide some add-on functionality to merge
the internal polygon numbers with country code numbers. The hardest
part would be what to do with mismatches.
