undeuxtroiskid has provided the map (read: hard) work for the latest map based SVG game, see how you fare with the Counties of Michigan.
While I'm at it I might as well share this tip: you can cut Inkscape filesizes by often over a quarter by rounding all the dimensions in the paths from 5 to 1 decimal place without losing any noticeable image quality. I wrote a simple javascript tool to automate this - just copy & paste your paths (as many as you like) into the text area click round, then copy the results back & save.
The UK Office for National Statistics looks like it will be a good source of interesting SVG examples. See the Personal Inflation Calculator & more recently an excellent Interactive pyramid chart of the UK age structure.
