Wait a minute, mapmaker is available in North Korea? Last time I checked, it was not available in Europe. Strange priorities ...

Though they're generally the smaller, less developed nations that they don't have existing data for, so although the have "France" listed it actually seems to only let you edit French Guiana.

I assume Google would like to have ownership of the data themselves, but that's not really possible in more developed nations at the moment so they're starting small.
