Micronational Stamps

To close out our week of "micronational collectibles", we'll consider the postage stamp. While it isn't something that Slabovia has actively pursued, many micronations have their own stamps made.

What's more, many micronations actually use their stamps in mail - as long as your envelope has the appropriate postage for the "macronation" it'll be passing through, it generally moves just fine through the postal services. The photo below includes envelopes I've received from (top to bottom) Angyalistan, West Who, Ruritania, Duckionary, and Obscurium

This concludes this week's exploration of various micronational souvenirs I've collected over the years. Hopefully it's given you some idea of the creativity involved in creating and running a micronation!
