Two thoughts come to mind:
I bought a world map at either Walmart or Toys R Us.  It was in the poster 
section.  It's the same size as their other posters (I would guess 2 x 3 feet 
or thereabouts) and isn't as detailed as something you might find in a school 
supply store, but it was accurate and up to date.
Another source might be a missionary organization.  I used to work for 
Operation Mobilization, and they sell a "Pray for the World" map for just a 
few dollars.  Their US office is in Tyrone, GA.  You can email them at 
postmaster@omusa.om.org.  If you need a snail mail address or phone number, 
let me know.
