north America The British Empire controlled an entire continent in Australia. The British Empire was the largest empire in history.
Australia was the only one of Great Britain's colonies to be established by a mix of convicts, marines and officers. While convicts were sent to other colonies, such as North Anerica and parts of he West Indies, they were not the ones who founded these colonies. Also, Australia was the only entire continent to be eventually colonised by the British Empire, even though this colonisation took place over a period of five decades. No other country claimed any part of the continent (although the French did state they made a formal claim in the west, the evidence of which was never found).
The answer depends on when: over history different members of Siam's neighbours were European colonies.

Belize's history includes eras of reign by the Maya, European colonies, an extension of the British empire, and finally it gained independence.
This period in history is called the period of Salutary Neglect. The British had enough problems at home that they weren't as actively involved with the colonies as they previously had been. This gave the colonies the opportunity to trade with countries that the British had prevented them from trading with. Britain eventually did realize what the colonies were doing, but because it wasn't affecting their own economy, the British decided to let them trade with other countries.
