change another div's styling using only css

Using css i created this hover map in my site: http://travel-fellow.com/destinations While you hover on continent it will change color. but there is another list at the bottom and i could not make it work while hovering on the other list. Html:

<ul id="continents">
<li class="northamerica"><a href="">North America</a></li>
<li class="southamerica"><a href="">South America</a></li>
<li class="asia"><a href="">Asia</a></li>
<li class="australia"><a href="">Australia</a></li>
<li class="africa"><a href="">Africa</a></li>
<li class="europe"><a href="">Europe</a></li>
</ul>

<ul id="continentslist">
     <li class="northamerica2"><a href="">North America</a></li>
    <li class="southamerica2"><a href="">South America</a></li>
    <li class="asia2"><a href="">Asia</a></li>
    <li class="australia2"><a href="">Australia</a></li>
    <li class="africa2"><a href="">Africa</a></li>
    <li class="europe2"><a href="">Europe</a></li>
</ul>

and css:

ul#continents {
    background: url("continents-540.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    height: 268px;
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    position: relative;
    width: 580px;
}
ul#continents li {
    position: absolute;
}
ul#continents li a {
    display: block;
    height: 100%;
    text-indent: -9000px;
}
ul#continents li.northamerica {
    height: 163px;
    left: 0;
    top: 2px;
    width: 237px;
}
.southamerica {
    height: 124px;
    left: 116px;
    top: 164px;
    width: 93px;
}
.africa {
    height: 97px;
    left: 209px;
    top: 132px;
    width: 116px;
}
.europe {
    height: 113px;
    left: 239px;
    top: 19px;
    width: 87px;
}
.asia {
    height: 182px;
    left: 304px;
    top: 12px;
    width: 168px;
}
.australia {
    height: 95px;
    left: 390px;
    top: 152px;
    width: 114px;
}
ul#continents li a:hover {
    background: url("continents-540.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}
ul#continents li.northamerica a:hover {
    background-position: -221px -318px;
}
ul#continents li.southamerica a:hover {
    background-position: 10px -536px;
}
ul#continents li.africa a:hover {
    background-position: -243px -537px;
}
ul#continents li.europe a:hover {
    background-position: -401px -514px;
}
ul#continents li.asia a:hover {
    background-position: -34px -324px;
}
ul#continents li.australia a:hover {
    background-position: -92px -527px;
}

Because i'm using joomla i'm trying to avoid using jquery.

You can do it using pure CSS

DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/daFDn/1163/

img.tree:hover ~ ul .tree {
    background:#ccc;
}

img.lion:hover ~ ul .lion {
    background:#ccc;
}

In your case you would assign the country hover to the correct list element. Ive used two random pictures just for examples sake, but the theory applies. These selectors are supported IE7+

EDITED

If you want to support all browsers then offer a jQuery backup support, or a jQuery only solution

DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/daFDn/1167/

$('.lion-img').hover(
  function () {
    $('.lion').addClass('active');
  }, 
  function () {
    $('.lion').removeClass('active');
  }
);
$('.tree-img').hover(
  function () {
    $('.tree').addClass('active');
  }, 
  function () {
    $('.tree').removeClass('active');
  }
);
