    markersSelectable: false,
    markersSelectableOne: false,
    markerStyle: {
      // Marker style

    onMarkerSelected: function (code, isSelected, selectedMarkers) {
      console.log(code, isSelected, selectedMarkers)

    onRegionTooltipShow: function (tooltip, code) {
      if (code === 'RU') {
        tooltip.selector.innerHTML = tooltip.text() + ' <b>(Hello Russia)</b>'
