How did a bunch of convicted criminals form a functioning society in Australia?
It just seems really bizarre when you think about it.
Imagine if it turned into 200 years of crime and poverty with Aussie saying

They always manage, somehow.

America us a shithole with a huge crime problem now though, it's exactly what one would expect of criminals. Australia is actually a great country

Much of the crime was white collar offenses, specifically people with debt who couldn't repay it.
Our state of Georgia was founded in the same way, as a debtors' colony.
