The excellent 'World Countries' game made by 'orinoco' is implemented in SVG and javascript in a single file:

 http://files.myopera.com/orinoco/svg/WorldCountries.svg

It is a lovely game, it is under the GDL and already works on the OLPC. It would make an absolutely great activity for the OLPC and only needs a little bit of tuning to make it work perfectly on the platform.

ToDos:

(EASY) perhaps change the color scheme to increase the contrast
(MEDIUM) increase the spacing between countries to improve visibility on the OLPC's high-res screen
(MEDIUM) make it all fit without scrolling left and right
(EASY) adjust the size and placement of the text to improve rendering and avoid clipping
(???) package as an OLPC Activity

New Features:

choose a continent to practice on
click on the country name to go to a wikipedia search
internationalize the text
package the wikipedia country pages as part of the activity
