The map is of northern Germany. If you look very carefully you can see my house.

I can only assume the red and blue dots are Hansa Rostock colours suggesting they control the whole territory. For the third tier this season, it's true. They're like Plymouth, all alone on their coastline.

The “river” here is supposed to be the Elbe, while the “sea” is the North Sea (on the other side of Denmark is the Baltic Sea). The “river” in the original slogan is the Jordan River, while the sea is the Mediterranean.

Still none the wiser

Have enough trouble figuring out where prussia was and thats meant to be my heritage lol
 
As HSF said it’s a double reference to Germany (“dominated”by Hansa), and the “river to the sea” is a reference to wiping out Israel (Jordan River to Mediterranean). It’s a dig at Irvine because he has supported Palestine on social media in the past. (Sorry if I am stating the obvious).

Presumably you live in (or have descendants who lived in) the Lockyer then? Prussian Lutherans settled around Australia in the 1800s but especially in the Barossa Valley and the Lockyer Valley.

The Barossa was predominantly German-speaking for quite some time and the Barossa German dialect was widely spoken until WWII (author Colin Thiele spoke only Barossa German till he went to school), but it’s making a comeback through revival. The German language has an interesting history here, since missionaries also taught it in Aboriginal communities (where in exchange they helped translate the Bible into their languages).

Just one Hungarian grandfather and the rest were British 3 generations back.

Yet funnily my Hungarian family name translates to Sachsen or Saxon and derives from people who came from around the Leipzig region and went to a region in modern day Romania in the 12th century, which was regularly within the borders of Hungary. They're known as the Siebenbürgen Sachsen. Due to intermarrying with vampires I've just celebrated my 732nd birthday and hate garlic.
