I'm plotting a filled contour over a map in R but some of the Central Asian countries' borders aren't showing (e.g. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan).

The borders don't appear for me using the map() function on its own either with library(maps) and library(mapdata).

Code:

map()

Are the borders missing from "map" or have I excluded them somehow?

UPDATE: the Central Asian countries started appearing in my plots for map("world"), but not map("worldHires"), so if someone out there fixed it: thank you! (I also noticed that the countries were missing from images on a couple of R mapping tutorials (e.g. here and here) so hopefully it was a real problem and it wasn't just me doing something wrong.)

    It's easier to help if you provide a [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) with data that we can run to verify the results and suggest possible solutions (make sure all variables are defined any non-base packages are explicitly listed) – MrFlick Aug 24 '17 at 14:55
  • The countries also appear to be missing with just using: map() – Andrew Russell Aug 24 '17 at 15:06
  • ...and I'm using the "maps" and "mapdata" libraries. – Andrew Russell Aug 24 '17 at 15:15

    #1 Edit your post and make it copy-paste-run'able. #2 Use `map("world")`, which also plots the caspian sea as a hole. – lukeA Aug 24 '17 at 15:21
