Finding a Simple Silverlight Map Component

I am looking for a lightweight map component that displays a map of the United States and allows users to click on a state and view information related to this state. The data I want to display is in my database. I just need to know which state is selected so that I can display the details. This is what I do to get to know Silverlight.

All the Silverlight / Maps searches I've done so far have pointed me to solutions that are much more complicated than I need. My perception is that using Bing Maps to accomplish this simple task would be a waste of the features provided by Bing.

Does anyone know about such a component? Am I mistaken that Bing Maps is not a suitable tool for this job?

TIA!

If you have access to Expression Studio (in particular, Expression Design), creating maps as vector images is quite simple. Xaml poly paths are also relatively efficient for storage and maintenance compared to images.

You import the map as a background image and use the Pen tool for point-to-point tracing throughout the country. Combine all of these path segments into one path. Then create a separate poly path for each state (close them to allow filling).

It will take several hours to build it all (I know that I did it for the selector of the world map country ... it took 4-5 hours for one polygon indicated below):
