Mate, I grew up in Launceston (many years ago) and when I first got to "mainland" Australia people there thought Tassie was some tiny little island full of Tassie Devils. It would not surpise me at all if non .au's thought it was a separate country (assuming they could even find it on a map in the first place) :)
