Visio should have Geographic stencils. These should contain a U.S. map
stencil as a composite, with each of the 50 states as individual objects; an
EU map as a composite, with each of the 12-25 member states as individual
objects. A mercator map, with each of the world's 144 countries as individual
objects.

The problem: it is very difficult to draw the shapes of geographical
boundaries. Yet, business diagrams may more easily describe concepts such as
"Region" or "Jurisdiction" much more easily with geographic map stencils.
