Here in Austrlalia the story is a bit different. Every child in school is told that the convicts came from England. This is what every teacher tells us:First I'll tell you what we're told about you guys. Your (when I say 'your' I refer to your nation as a whole, not you individually) refusal to progress past petty democracy. Your solution to your overcrowded prisons was to offload everyone to other countries, in a quest for a perfect national image. But when America said "cut it out," you had nowhere to dump all those people stealing bread to feed their families. So some bastard said, "let us wipe out an age old civilisation in that god forsaken country down under the earth, old chap. It doesn't matter that they've been there longer than we've been living here, because we have the best lawyers. Which is why it's perfectly legal." So they took his advice.
And so we reach the 'foundation' of Australia, where the British carried out their 'legal' genocide, and ruined the land with their poor farming skills. They mowed down the native flora, and used their city 'bread stealers' to build roads and farms over land that wasn't theirs. In smaller places, like Tasmania (that island down the bottom), they murdered the entire populous. Australia had become a nation clearly divided into three classes: the military (upper), the working class, and the (PLEASE excuse the British introduced racist expression) "abo scum."
As convicts, we didn't have any rights. We worked and toiled in the heat we weren't used to, day in day out, for seven years. And that was only the first wave of "criminals." But it was all legal, because England's lawyers have made sure that they are perfect.
Here we can see the perfect example of what can happen when a nation is founded by criminals. They suppress the working class, kill off the locals, and rape the land. Gee, it's a good think you guys have top notch lawyers. Oh, I forgot, the only reason they win is because of their smart sounding posh accents. Smart England, genocide is real smart.
