Radim,

sounds good to me. Like that we keep it in sync. What about using
HTMLMAP driver to generate the map?
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/gdp/html_grass5/html/htmlmapdriver.html

We could use v.bubble to make the circles and use d.area/HTMLMAP then.

Does anyone have a free political world map (vector)? If so it could be 
added to "global" dataset as well.
