2025 Stamp Issues
Commemorative Issue "15th Anniversary of JSAC"
The Strategic Forces of Musograd were founded on 2010.01.20, after the forming of the Federated Micronations. Originally aligned to the Dershowo Musograd, they now are part of the JSF under the name of "Joint Strategic Air Command". The JSAC is a guarantor of security and stability of the Federation, both externally and, in times of crisis, also internally. The stamp shows the ensign of the JSAC and the newest strategic system, a PA 505b "Black Dragon".
The issue was printed in miniature sheets of 6 stamps, all connected to a sheet border piece displaying the JSAC ensign.

State Definitive Issue for SRM "Astronomers - Galilei Galilei / Ulug Begh"
Posta tal Musograd issues State Definitives for the FM States it services to cover the most important postage fees, which are sold only in the respective states and the BCT, but are valid in all states. On the State Definitives of the Scientific Republic of Murwillumbah (SRM), famous scientists are depicted, with a focus on Mediterranean and Muslim scientists. The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was born in 1564. He propagated the heliocentric model of Astronomy, discovered the 4 largest moons of Jupiter now named "Galilean Moons" and is regarded as the father of modern observational science. Ulug Begh was born in 1394. A grandson of the Mongol conqueror Timur, he was very interested in science and built the first astronomic observatory in Samarkand. He used it to create a highly accurate star table and to measure the length of the sidereal year to a precision of less than a minute.
The stamps are based on portraits available on Wikimedia. The state flag of the SRM is displayed both on the stamp and on the top and bottom sheet borders. Although PtM is not referred to on the information line due to space constraints, the stamps are official PtM issues. The stamps were issued in single motive sheets only, thus no se-tenant pieces are available. Both astronomers had their anniversaries in 2024. Due to special circumstances, PtM decided to postpone the issue but to leave the year 2024 in the information line unchanged.

Commemorative Issue "3rd Anniversary of Large Scale russian Attack on Ukraine"
Three years after the massive invasion on 2022.02.24 and more than 10 years after the russian occupation of Crimea and parts of Donezk and Luhansk, the russian agression against Ukraine is still continuing. It has slowed down to an almost microscopic progress, though, and one of the reasons for this is the use of small drones by the Ukrainian soldiers as weapons against russian tanks. While large drones as one way weapons have a history going back to WW II, the use of consumer drones by Ukraine has revolutionized warfare. Of course, the other side has adapted accordingly, as is usual in war. The 1980's prediction by Stanislaw Lem that weapons would become ever smaller, cheaper and more autonomous in the 21st century has come true. This trend will surely continue, with unpredictable consequences for the world. It is clear, though, that without drones, Ukraine would not have survived the lack of artillery ammunition and tanks.
The PtM stamp issue to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the invasion was designed to remind us of this fact. It shows two battle drones, hovering in a destroyed city. The stamp was designed using Midjourney, edited and manually colourized. It is issued in stripes of 4 stamps each, with top and border margins connected to each stamp.
The 1 CW surcharge will be donated to the "Wild Hornets" drone production organisation supporting the Ukrainian army. For international philatelic sales, the full sales amount will be donated. Alternatively, to receive a stamp stripe, customers may donate an amount of 16€ / US$ 16 directly to the project . For this, a screenshot confirmation of the transfer is required. Offer valid as long as stock available.

Experimental Issue "First experimental digital stamp"
Yourstamps , the printing company for PtM stamps, has started to experiment with the integration of digital codes into stamps. In a first step, digital codes from Deutsche Post were integrated into a a stamp design created using Artificial Intelligence. Used for International Mail to Germany, this experiment has so far been successful. The stamps have not been cancelled physically on the letters shipped with them. For philatelic sales, exemplaries with invalid digital code have been created. Valid exemplaries are being produced on demand. Yourstamps is planning to offer this service on their website, with further technical integration and automation planned.

Commemorative Issue "World Day for Glaciers"
The United Nations declared March 21 the first "World Day for Glaciers", celebrating the important role of glaciers as a stable water source for hundreds of millions humans on the planet, and also to focus attention on the threat to glaciers by the Climate Crisis. It is assumed that most glaciers will disappear by end of the century, threatening the livelihood of many millions. The F.M., although not an U.N. member, have joined this initiative, expressing their support through a Posta tal Musograd issue which shows the last remainders of a glacier in the Pyrenées, in the Cirque du Gavarnier, a classical glacier valley. The remainders of the glacier, technically only a snow field as they do not move anymore, survive in the shadow of the end of the valley, having formed a large cave shown on the image taken by a Musogradian expedition in 2001.

Commemorative Issue - "80th Anniversary of May 8, 1945 - Stolpersteine"
On 2025.05.08, the 80th anniversary of the capitulation of the German Empire is celebrated. This ended WW II in Europe and Africa, with the war in Asia continuing some more months. It was also an end to the cruellest mass murder ever seen on the planet, the Holocaust of the Jews and the extermination of other groups like Roma, Sinti, Homosexuals, handicapped people and other "undesirables" by the German Fascists and their allies. Posta tal Musograd and yourstamps employees are reminded daily of this time, as there are 5 "Stolpersteine" , stumbling stones, placed directly in front of our Balangrad City office.
These memorial stones have been selected as motive for this commemorative issue. They are reminders of the fact that five members of the Luster and Eichen family , who were all deported and killed by the Fascists, have lived in the house which now hosts the PtM and yourstamps offices.
It is deeply disturbing that the spiritual inheritors of the murderers now raise their heads again, in Germany and elsewhere, including in lands where once the survivors of the Holocaust tried to build up a new society.
