When I used the following code to plot the world country boundary and found out that there is no boundary between South Sudan and North Sudan. Any one know how to solve that?

data(wrld_simpl) 
plot(wrld_simpl,add=TRUE)

library(maptools) # by the way - always state packages used

            

      
      
      
    

        
The dataset in maptools is kept the way it was in 2007. For an 
alternative, see:

library(rworldmap)
data(countriesLow)
plot(countriesLow)

and the vignette in the rworldmap for metadata. See also the cshapes 
package for boundaries tracking changes over time.

Hope this helps,

Roger
