It's to measure and show the magnitude of the various subdivisions and Australia as a whole.

Let's see...

Land area of "Spain & Portugal" as shown on this map: ~ 99 800 pixels.

Land area of Australia as shown on this map: ~ 1 242 000 pixels.

Ratio of Australia's area to "Spain & Portugal"'s area: ~ 12,445.

 

Land area of real-life Spain + land area of real-life Portugal: ~ 590 000 square kilometres.

Land area of real-life Australia: ~ 7 682 000 square kilometres.

Ratio of Australia's area to Spain & Portugal's area: ~ 13,02.

 

Close enough.
