How can I build a 3D "blown-apart" regional map of the USA?

[Brad]

My company is divided into 15 sales regions, with 1 rep per region. I would
like to build a color-coded map of the USA that reflects each rep's sales
territory. Is there a Microsoft tool that can create this?

Brad,

I guess you could make your own, if it's only highlighting 15 regions.

What you need is an editable (in powerpoint) state map.

Or if you are going to be doing this a lot, something like smartdraw would
help
