On this screenshot we can see two different areas : Sudan and South Sudan. The problem is that the value from the South Sudan is "Sudan". So Kibana can't understand my value that is "South Sudan".

I'm using kibana 6.3

Hello,

I've looked in the vector map definition for the World Countries layer and it seems that South Sudan is not available in there. I've pinged the Maps team and they will update it. As far as I know, this file is hosted on the maps server so you'll be able to get the update without having to update Kibana.

This has been fixed in the World Countries layer. You can [preview the data here](http://maps.elastic.co/#file/World%20Countries). Thanks for reporting.
