The only actual country is Nyassa (not going to bother with the London and Lisbon printings), the others are The UN (to 1988), local posts for Kaulbach Island and the Dutch officials connected to The International Court at The Hague. None of these were a real challenge but I'm tempted to leave them there in case anyone has a question about them. On my actual want list I just wrote in "complete". Several of the other areas, like Canada, Poland, Russia, Cuba and the US will obviously never be complete. A few like Ireland, Jamaica, Swiss officials, etc. are possible in time. I only collect NZ after #50 so that might be do-able and there are a couple more possibles (Peru, North Borneo, Mozambique Company and St. Pierre and M.) but I'd have to check Scott's first. Australia is close but I'd need to get bargains on some of the early roo stamps. I also collect a few German states but I think there are a few biggies in there. I will finish BC shortly but that's not listed separately since it's part of Canada. The other provinces, except Newfoundland, are possible with a significant outlay and some time. It really does feel good to "finish" a country but actually you never really finish since occasionally a variety or error shows up that you can't resist!!

It’s such a rare event to complete any philatelic collection. What should you do? How about a happy dance?

Should I delete the area since I'm not looking for it anymore or should I leave it in case someone has a question?
