Is it possible in Bing or Nokia maps to display a blank map of the world where each country is only outlined by its border, and then fill some countries with a solid color? Thanks!

You can render arbitrary polygons on top of Bing maps, but there’s no built in functionality to render regions like provinces, states, counties, etc. In order to highlight a region you would need to provide all the points of a polygon and overlay it over a region on the map. Here’s a great article that discusses drawing “advanced” polygon shapes with version 7 of the Bing Maps AJAX control.
