I am hoping to utilize a US map with counties in SVG format to map the results of a project. Every county is an object and has its "FIPS code" in the object id field. I would like to fill the counties with a specific color based on a data set. The data set is an excel document containing two columns: one column with the id field and another column containing the color value in hex code. I can save this table as CSV. Based on this file, I need help using Inkscape to automatically color the counties. I have very little experience using Inkscape. Thank you in advance for your assistance and time.

I don't think you can do it without scripting, either javascript or a python extension for Inkscape, maybe even shell script. Do you have any experience with scripting?

No. I do not have any experience scripting. Earlier, I was starting to read a tutorial article that was similar to what I am hoping to accomplish that involved some scripting.
