What's with the tiny blue dot in Australia

That appears to be the Australian Capital Territory. Being from the US, I'm going to assume Canberra has a separate jurisdiction from surrounding states, like Washington DC

Good call, I found this

On 25 September 2019, the Australian Capital Territory passed a bill allowing for possession and growth of small amounts of cannabis for personal use as of 31 January 2020, although the laws conflict with federal laws that prohibit recreational use of cannabis and the supply of cannabis and cannabis seeds are not allowed under the changes.[5]
