Nah, it doesn't make sense. Katy Hopkins, and others of that ilk, refer to Londonistan and think they are deriding the place. Unwittingly they are actually correct. A "stan" is a place where a people live. Afghanistan is where the Afghans live. The Tajiks live in Tajikistan, and the Uzbeks live in Uzbekistan and so on. Thus Londonistan is where the Londoners live. Katy is only half as witty as she thinks.
For such an idea to work here you'd have to try something like Kiwistan. That works, but I don't think it'll catch on.
