I am using IDL's High/Low Res database to map out some regions in the
Middle East. I notice some countries are missing.
Any reason why? I suspect a bad database.

Could that be because showing those countries would be politically incorrect?
After all, this is a CIA based map. And they are known to overlook some
things. Not surprisingly, if they can be unaware of whole countries...
