Worflow to move countries on the globe

[AntoineSfx]

Hi there

Any suggestions on how I could create a globe which would allow me to move countries on the surface of the Earth ?
I was thinking of something like

1/ import country borders as polygons in some representation

2/ create one sphere per country

3/ merge the whole thing

then somehow I would need a manipulator that would find the  country under the mouse pointer and allow me to drag it on the Earth

Thoughts ?

or try to animate black and white shapes (representing countries and move In after-effects or Some other program ) and then use this

then polar (you have vex codes here on the forum) sphere, then extrude.

Hope it Helps
