You should not use parenthesis to define a point ( )
.
This way should do it:
var countries = [
['england', 51.508515 , -0.125487, 5],
['france', 46.227638 , 2.213749, 4],
['switcherland', 46.818188 , 8.227512, 3],
['italy', 41.871940 , 12.56738, 2],
['greece', 39.074208 , 21.824312, 1]
];
Here is an example at jsFiddle.
