Mapbox center and set appropriate zoom level for a country

Question

I'm trying to find a way to center and zoom to a country using Mapbox. I am able to get a country its coordinates using the geocoder, however, the zoom levels differ per country. (E.g. the zoom level for Spain is not the same level for the U.S.A.)


function showMap(err, data) {

        console.log(data);
        console.log(err);

        if (err == true) {
            console.log("Couldn't find this place!");
        } else {
            map.fitBounds(data.lbounds);        
        }   

}   


var geocoder = L.mapbox.geocoder('x',map);

geocoder.query("Spain", showMap);

Would I need an additional layer with fusion tables to achieve this?

Thanks for any help!

Can you be much more specific with this question, and provide an example, preferably something you can link to, with full code?

The usage of 'however' is confusing: large countries will have different zoom levels than small. Is this what you see happening? Or not? Is this something you desire, or not?
