Citizenship change problem for countrys with no regions or just loosing one...

I had a good friend who just requested a citizenship in Australia and he get a msg like these:

"Sorry that we have to tell you that your request of citizenship was denied because the region you are living in is no longer part of this country."

This sucks espeically for small countrys why can't people just request it no matter what regions are up because I belive there is also several very small countrys without any region what are they supposed to do ?
