I'm totally newbie with geo plots and I'm work in an interactive dashboard. Recently I discover ploty in R. I can reproduce this tutorial https://plot.ly/r/choropleth-maps/ and works perfect for me.

Now I try to reproduce this example (a country split by provinces or states) with other country different of US but scope have only this options: ("world" | "usa" | "europe" | "asia" | "africa" | "north america" | "south america"), don't have any other country than US. And the option of location mode are ( "ISO-3" | "USA-states" | "country names").

My question is: How can reproduce the example of the Choroplethic Map for other country?

    For a region other than those that you listed, you have to supply the shapefile yourself. Possible duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37742879/interactive-choropleth-in-r-of-sweden – camille Apr 23 '18 at 19:05

    This is way to general as a question. You need to be more specific. With ploytly, mapbox and ggmap can be used to get what you want. – MLavoie Apr 23 '18 at 19:12
  • Thanks everyone for help, the question that @camile posted is the solution that I need. – William David Apr 24 '18 at 14:47

You would have to build a package that already includes the access to the shapefiles. Quite a bit of work depending on your experience level.

Here is a list of open datasets: https://freegisdata.rtwilson.com/

If you wanted to recreate a state-level data map, then you would need to find administrative boundaries for your specific country. http://www.diva-gis.org/gdata
