WPF shapes such as the Path are clickable so it is relatively easy to capture a click on a state and change the fill of the shape. The hard part is drawing all the shapes.

You can make image maps with GIMP. Go here for an official tutorial from GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Image_Map/

Now, you'll have to figure the rest out in the programming language you are using. :)
