You should post a working example that can be evaluated by others and
that generates above mentioned error. (Your version of Mathematica might
help too.)
The following works as expected on my system.
<< WorldPlot`
remotemap1 = {"Canada", "Mexico"};
remotemap2 = {Orange, Black};
finalmap = WorldPlot[{remotemap1, remotemap2}]
