However.  A bit late as well, meet friends for a beer in the afternoon.

Sticking with the svg Europe file from https://simplemaps.com/resources/svg-europe  some hints.

You import a vector .svg like this, and because this comes with a transparent background, lock and fill like this little animation  https://i.imgur.com/ayRWAeq.mp4

You can fill just a country or the whole map with a pattern or just a country by choosing a path. https://i.imgur.com/N4wdMFX.mp4

Then as an example, A layer under for the sea. Lock the transparency and fill all the land with color, Choose your country, fill with a pattern.  https://i.imgur.com/3gyZnGn.mp4

All sorts of ways to mix fill and paths. Those little clips are a bit quick.  I have some old patterns with transparent backgrounds, some attached, unzip and and put the folder in your patterns folder.

'....fill all the land with color...' This post is interesting :
