Is it possible to style country borders and coast lines on Google Maps API?

Question

I prepared a jfiddle with only country borders in order to help you and all styles resetted:

var styles = [
  {
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  }
];

I'd like to change colour of both country borders and coast lines! Thanks!

Edit – august 2021

Google Maps API V3 currently accepts administrative.country directive for styling country borders.

  {
    "featureType": "administrative.country",
    "elementType": "geometry.stroke",
    "stylers": [
      {
        "color": "#ff0000"
      }
    ]
  }

Directive for coastlines is unfortunately not supported.

Original answer

There is an issue with the API:

Issue 7165: Bug: Cannot hide country borders anymore (since 9/24/14)

administrative.country.geometry elements seem to accept no styling at all.
