<div id="ygrps-yiv-1389987433">Matin Ira Glassner&#39;s book &quot;systematic Political Geography&quot; has illustrations <br/>
of stamps of various enclaves, boundaries and countries in it.<br/>
<br/>
BTW, I just checked up on German en/ex-claves. I was wrong! Argh!<br/>
However, I am sure the Hotentots only have one word for the two concepts ;-)<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt;how about a page or site devoted to tri country points & enclaves etc<br/>
&gt;depicted on postage stamps<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;m<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;& then we could remind & persuade the national govts of the importance of<br/>
&gt;these forgotten local shrines & hot spots in their midst like gorillas<br/>
&gt;& suggest that they issue special commemorative postal stamps depicting &<br/>
&gt;honoring precisely our 161 most focal points & the numerous other geo<br/>
&gt;delicacies we could also point them toward<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;in this way we might grow not only our photo collection<br/>
&gt;& perhaps even our global visitation itinerary<br/>
&gt;by making sure at least 1 of our members is present as a dignitary at all<br/>
&gt;postal issuance or tri issuance celebrations<br/>
&gt;which would naturally occur at or near the tripoints themselves<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;i believe the european community may actually have been kick started in<br/>
&gt;just such a way in 1957 when a special multinational or supranational<br/>
&gt;europa postal union issue was coventured at first by 6 or 7 countries<br/>
&gt;& annually repeated with much enlarged scope & membership<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;the earliest series naturally became quite valuable as collectors items<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
