Abstract:

When non-state entities design, issue and use their own postage stamps, they visibly harness the symbolism and trappings of statehood that stamps carry. Drawing on the international legal regulation of postage stamps, this article makes a close examination of micronations’ stamps as objects of international law, to consider how the philatelic practices of micronations illuminate material practices of sovereignty and statehood.
