Worldwide charts?

I've been in talks with the people at Foreflight as I was underwhelmed by the European part of their app. There are terrific VFR charts published in most countries and I pointed out that they should try to license them or otherwise incorporate that in future releases. I gave pointers to the places where I'm most familiar - the UK and Sweden (Sweden has the best VFR charts ever, published by the Royal Aeronautical Club - they are outstanding).

It got me thinking. With the pooled experience here it would be good to make a definitive thread on which countries print their own VFR charts and where to obtain them (if they can be obtained at all). I know that there are some weak spots in southern Europe and I've heard IO540 saying that pilots in Greece still use the ancient ONC charts from the US military. Is this the case?

How about the middle east and asia? Do these areas generally print VFR charts at all?

Here's a link to buying the great Swedish TMA charts:
