Monte Bello Islands: 1993 definitive set (minus the $1 value), and with both shades of the 17c. The Monte Bello Islands' first stamps appeared in 1952, but in 1993 this attractive tricolour set appeared, to mark the resumption of the mail service at Hermite Island. The stamp design is by Timothy Bolotnikoff, and they were printed by typography by the Imperial Occussi-Ambeno Government Printing Office (KDPN), Baleksetung, on white paper with invisible gum, and perf 12. Note that the 17c value occurs in dark and light green. These were printed over two days, so when night fell, the press was shut down and all ink cleaned off. Next day, printing was resumed, but a different can of green ink was used, with a noticeable difference in shade. There is also a $1 value, not shown here, as it is missing from my collection. The vast majority of this set were later given commemorative overprints in 1994 and 1995, and most of the $1 stamps suffered this fate.

This year, 2020, is the fiftieth birthday of Mevu, a small Antarctic republic first established in 1970, and which has been a steady stamp-issuer since then.
So to celebrate this birthday in a philatelic way, Occussi-Ambeno issued an attractive set of four stamps on 12th March 2020: Occussi-Ambeno 2020 50th anniversary of Mevu's Independence. Occussi-Ambeno 2020 50th anniversary of Mevu's Independence, first day cover. The photos on the stamps were taken by the President of Mevu, Her Excellency, Mrs Liese Keller. Similar stamps were issued by Mevu and some other lands. .·:*¨¨*:·..·:*¨¨*:·..·:*¨¨*:·..·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·..·:*¨¨*:·..·:*¨¨*:·. |

Mevu,
a small Antarctic republic first established in 1970, and which has
been a steady stamp-issuer since then. Penguins frequently feature on
their stamps, and one penguin is also the main feature of their crest (which can be seen on the First Day Cover).
So to celebrate this birthday in a philatelic way, Mevu issued an attractive set of four stamps on 12th March 2020. Several allies also celebrated the great event with similar stamps. Mevu 2020 50th anniversary of Independence. Mevu 2020 50th anniversary of Independence, first day cover.

That really looks like a great event.
So much to look at in such a tiny piece of paper. Editing all those pictures must take a very very long time. Why don't you show us how it's done Colin? Some build up pictures perhaps or gifs? Have you got time on your hands during the coronavirus outbreak? I think everyone can cut up photographs to make a stamp if they are shown how to do it properly !! Congratulations on 5o years of stamps MEVU

Occussi-Ambeno
is not a Gay country; it just has the "normal" proportions of gay and
hetero folks like most lands.
Kemp Land is the only fifth-world nation to be openly ruled by Gays today. And
yes, that zeppelin does look rather phallic! But all zeppelins had
that "problem". (Probably the reason so many philatelists love them!)
