What you have drawn is the republic of Ireland. 'Ireland' means the entire island. A map of the island would rather ruin your joke, but it would show respect to those of us Irish people who live in the north of the island.

The only people I've heard use it were Aussies, but I don't actually know if it's their thing or not, or even how popular it is. I just know it's far and away one of my favorite metaphors for something you might find "down under."<br /><br />The Amanda Palmer reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-GQ63NStxk <br />She communicates it much more creatively than I could. And it's a lot like China and the rooster. It's almost impossible to stop seeing it.
