The cross is the Southern Cross, obviously. The other star is the Commonwealth Star - it has seven points, one for each state, and one for all the various Territories.

As I recall, only a small portion of Oz was ever a penal colony. The Americas saw far more use in that regard because they were so much closer.

Of course, it wasn't really very many truly hardened criminals in the first place, since they were usually hung or shot. It was the petty thieves and debtors and the like. A grand british psuedo-eugenics project to ensure that they would have as small a gene pool as possible.

Sure explains Charles.

[Knight Templar]

Holy crap, you're alive.

It was Georgia that was used as penal colony. Virginia was colonized by treasure seekers who were not too bright, Massachusetts by crazy religious folks until everyone realized it was stupid, the rest of New England by slightly deviant crazy religious people from Massachusetts Maryland by Catholics, Pennsylvania as a refuge from religious persecution (for the most part), the Carolinas by a few rich people, and New York by the Dutch. Not quite sure where the colonists for New Jersey came from....
