What you're describing in an APNIC confederation -- APNIC would
allocate a /19 to each confederation member (see APNIC-052 for
details).
However, as a result of the APNIC meeting in HK, we have a moratorium
on the creation of new confederations until the funding issue is
resolved.

The actual address space we'd allocate would most likely be from the
210 block for various reasons.

Yup, this is why we have the confederations in the first place (I'd
note that RIPE-NCC does not have confederations at all, nor a concept
of a national NIC -- all ISPs are required to go to RIPE-NCC (or their
upstream) for their addresses).
