Try this:
First draw the vector map normally. Then on top of that put the same
vector map but put boundary width to be 2 more then the previous layer,
and set it's opaque value to 20% or something like that (you might need
to experiment a little depending on the background color and the color
of your lines. Also don't fill areas, just draw the boundaries, and you
should get a nice anti-aliasing-like effect even for filled areas.
