Hi Daniel,
If you try the following:
AbsoluteOptions[world, PlotRange]
you get the coordinate range of the figure. In this case:
{PlotRange -> {{-176.599, 176.117}, {-62.5631, 88.2896}}}
which looks like lat and long coordinate ranges. It should not be too
difficult to fit your plot within these confines. If you want to
identify landmarks in your figure you could use the coordinate picker
in the Graphics Inspector (ctrl-G) or select the figure and press
'.' .
Cheers -- Sjoerd
