In Inkscape Path > Combine will combine all the paths to one object, but then one object can only have one fill.

So, I'm not sure how well that work for you, since the map part is a different colour. I suppose you could add a gradient fill, then edit the gradient stops.

For example:



One more thing to note is that creating one combined path will not reduce the number of nodes. I see the map part of your example has lots of nodes, so you might want to consider simplifying the shape a little if the file size is going to be an issue.
