Is it possible to limit Google Maps to display only a given country?
e.g. I'd only like the UK to be visible in a huge sea of blue.

A:
The short answer is "no" (as they have bitmap images of their maps, and would need to re-render to exclude mainland Europe, etc.) - you could build your own set of tiles using Open Street Map data, to achieve the same thing.

OK, thanks Rowland. I wonder if you could add an opaque overlay to achieve the same effect though?

You could, but the real map would show through temporarily when you move/zoom/etc.

A:
Using Javascript you can limit the viewport, but it's not possible to actually get rid of the images of the other countries.
