I would like to make my own world map with different colors on
different countries (say, US for red and Canada for blue) for the
colored print-out or with different shades on different counties (say,
US for dark black and Canada for light black) for the black-white
print-out. Ultimately, I would like to save my created world map as a
graph file to be exported into a word program.

Any websites (more preferable) or software (I really do not want to
spend hours to learn new program) to create my own world maps with
colors?
