If I wanted to create a biotope tank of a region of the world while using this orange-colored sand, which region should I pick?

Lots of regions in Australia are known for red sand. But I think a "Desert" biotope for aquariums might be a bit conflicting. :naughty:
Yeah I think my best bet would be inland Australia but it's a 220 gallon tank and desert gobies aren't going to take up much room. Haha.
 
Sand I collect from the St. Croix River is a little browner, but produces a similar appearance. The river is also brown with tannins.

Your aquarium looks beautiful. I'm curious about the container at the left end of the picture.
