When I display the map of EUROPE in MATLAB, it does not show Finland, Iceland, and the Faroe islands. Northern parts of Norway and Sweden are also missing.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
This is a bug in Mapping Toolbox 1.2 (R12.1).
As a workaround, modify the lines at line numbers 277 and 278 in WORLDMAP.M file to the following:
      latlim = [30 72];
      lonlim = [-25 45];
The above file, WORLDMAP.M, can be found at the following location:
         $MATLAB6p1\toolbox\map\mapdisp\worldmap.m
Where $MATLAB6p1 is your root MATLAB directory. Alternatively you can also find the path for that file on your system by typing the following at the MATLAB command prompt:
which worldmap
