Is there any way I can specify a custom region using Google Geochart?

I understand that I can get down to the metro level using the following in my options:

region: 'US-602',
resolution: 'metros',

But our client is asking for an even more specific map. First, they want it to be a square and every Geochart I've seen or tried in Google has been a fixed rectangle (fixed as in same proportion - I understand you can change the width and height). And I don't want to turn off 'keepAspectRatio' to make it a square since that will only stretch the map.

Is there any way I can specify specific coordinates (or do anything else) in Geochart to create my own custom region? I would think Google would allow you to customize something like region instead of pick from a list of fixed options.

Or is there any other plugin that will allow me to do this?

you can create custom maps for the GeoChart, however it gets a tad tricky. GeoChart expects your maps to be named in a certain way and be in a certain format, so you would have to reverse engineer how the maps are structured in order to draw your own. You can set to your own maps source by writing google.visualization.GeoChart.setMapsSource(newSourceUrl).
