We've had those competitions, they're called nation wars. This is state of origins.
For one, Nation Wars didn't include states, so it's a totally different thing. We can have states competing against everyone, as opposed to a boring Australian only competition that we so frequently see. It would be great, in my opinion to try and link up a tournament between all of the states as well as people from other countries so that they can represent themselves and fight for their geographical location's respect on our forum.
Again, I'm going to say, this is not just an Australian forum. I'm from QLD, but I'd love to see the talent of our community who reside in NZ, or Singapore etc. compete against people from my state. I am of the opinion that if you want to further esports in our community, you cannot just prevent certain people from playing because of their geographical location. It makes absolutely no difference as to whether or not they are in Australia. There WILL be an army of people supporting them just as much as there would be people supporting QLD or NSW. The whole point is to have a competitive scene in which people represent their place of origin in Starcraft 2. It's not rocket science to say that everyone on our forum should be able to partake in the tournament.
All in all, it is deL's choice as to whether or not other places are included, but these are just words for thought.
