Capital: Pictorial
Philatia (pronounced fee-lat-eya) is an imaginary country. It was created to display stamps that are not issued by any other country in the world. The hope is that one day a real country will issue stamps to recognize these overlooked genus-species.
Inspiration for creating this imaginary country comes from a variety of sources, but predominantly from my partner Ayla and the works of Donald Evans.
