The United States of America. The British sent more convicts to the old 13 colonies than they did to Australia. They were closer. Even after the War of Independence a British ship or two tried to land convicts in the brand new USA but were sent home by the fledgling US Navy. Unwanted convicts arriving in the old colonies was one of the things behind the War of Independence. There was a lot more than just tax behind it.

Australia.
The other person who commented on the United States was only partially correct. The US was not a penal colony it was a source of resouces. However, what is the State of Georgia was a penal colony and acted as a buffer between New England and New Spain (in Florida).
