2026 Stamp Issues
Commemorative Issue "First Flight of JSAC PA-601"
In these insecure and strange times, every nation has to make sure it is well defended. This is also true for Micronations. For this purpose, the Joint Sovereign Air Command of the Federated Micronations has invested into a new strategic platform, supplementing and at some point in the future replacing the current one, PA-501 "Warlock". Building on technology developed for PA-505 "Dragon", PA-601 "Witcher" combines full spectrum stealth technology with a high payload and high flight altitude and ranges.
The code name "Witcher" was selected as the world in which the eponymous hero lives displays many of the same features of the current world situation. Small, conservative kingdoms are threatened and swallowed by a large empire. Still, they cannot decide if they should unite or if they should try to appease the agressor. Racism is rampant. Elves and dwarves are persecuted by humans. Even climate change, in the form of a threatening ice age, is present. The witcher is tasked to slay monsters, but decides to follow his destiny and his moral compass.
The issue was printed in miniature sheets of 8 stamps, all connected to a sheet border piece displaying the JSAC ensign.

Commemorative Issue "Musogradian Castles"
Tourist travel to the State of Musograd is currently rising again, after the breakdown during the Star Sickness and Shoolscath crises. The Musogradian Tourist Agency has finally set up their new website to promote tourism in Musogradian cities and regions. In cooperation with Posta tal Musograd, a stamp series has been designed which displays the historic castles and fortresses of the state. The castles and fortresses shown are (clockwise from top left) :
- Musograd Castle - the historic city castle now contains a historic museum
- Rhanastraz Castle - the historic castle guarding the entry to the High Rhana valley in the Goralni Mountains
- Old Fort Mohuc - the historic fortress protecting the land side of the city of Mohuc
- Goralnigrad Fortress - the fortress built to protect the eastern entry of the Goralni Mountains, now grown into a large multiethnic city.
- Phulda Castle - the largest of a chain of historic fortresses watching over the Phulda Gap in the southeast of the state.
- Kosnice Fortress - the core of the extended hinterland fortification of the southern harbour city of Kosnice
The 6 stamps of equal value (CW 0.95, the international standard letter rate) were combined in a miniature sheet in fixed format.

Commemorative Issue "Heroic People of Ukraine and Iran"
On 2026.02.24, the fourth year of the russian aggression on Ukraine closed with no end of the war in sight. In spite of the high losses and the destruction of large parts of their power supply, Ukrainians fight on as they know the alternative, capitulation, would be even worse. At the same time, many courageous Iranians took to the streets against their tyrannic regime, which killed many thousands of them. They both hope for and fear an external attack by the U.S., which by now is almost sure to come according to JCOT , the F.M. crisis analysis team. The world is more and more falling into a perfect storm, symbolized on this stamp issue by the red dust circulating over the Ukrainian and the Iranian Lion flags.
Posta tal Musograd decided to mark this critical point in time by a commemorative issue focussing at the plight of the two peoples. The two stamps have been printed in a se-tenant pair, with their single values covering large letter rates within the FM and their combination covering the international large letter rate. The standard sheet contains 12 se tenant pairs.

Commemorative Issue "Naquarnian Border Castles"
Naquarnia, the smallest state of the F.M., contains a number of impressive castles, in that respect similar to Musograd. On the border of the former Territorio Sovrano di Mondeo, two famous castles are located, known as the Castelli di Rumejo e Giulja . These castles are well known also from literature, linked to a story about two lovers separated by their families' feuds. The stamp shows a view of the castles as seen from a viewpoint in the TSM. The design is based on a historic 1970s photograph. At that time, the TSM was still ruled by Conte Otto dell' Estate, whose coat of arms is being shown on the top sheet border. On the bottom sheet border, the flag of Naquarnia is displayed.

State Definitive Issue for SRM "Scientists - Enrico Fermi / Satyendra Nath Bose"
This State Defintive stamps issued for the Scientific Republic of Murwillumbah cover the new standard letter fees of CW 1.00 and the mass mailing fee of CW 0.50. With these values, it was logical to use the portraits of Enrico Fermi for the 0.50 CW stamp and of Satyendra Nath Bose for the 1.00 CW stamp.
Fermi, an Italian who emigrated to the Untied States, was deeply involved into the development of the nuclear bomb, but also developed Fermi-Dirac statistics for particles with half-integer spin, based on the Pauli exclusion principle which forbids those particles, now called "Fermions", to inhabit the same energy level.. Bose, together with Einstein, developed Bose-Einstein statistics for particles with integer spin which allows them to inhabit the same energy levels. These particles are now called "Bosons".
The stamps were issued in small sheets of 14 stamps each, all with a se tenant field containing the SRM flag. PtM has issued a directive that it is allowed to use two of these 0.50 CW stamps on a standard letter only if one is placed upwards and the other upside down.
- Date of Issue: 2026.04.28
- Design: J.Schwarz, based on colourized Wikimedia images of Fermi and Bose .
- Small Fixed perforation, matt paper
- Printed with Kyocera printer
- Value: CW 0.50 / 1.00
- Order No. FM202605 - two stamps (CW 1.50)
Commemorative Issue "May 8th Remembrance"
The Eight of May has acquired a special significance for the Federated Micronations. Of course, it is the anniversary of the end of the Second World War, but it signifies two other dates. First, the May 8th Revolution in 1996, where left-leaning divisions of the Musogradian Army, supported by wide parts of the people, took over and instigated the "Australija" policy, which ultimately failed in the early 2000s. The second one was now, 2026.05.08, on which date a grand project to fight the dominance of cars over cities ended without the necessary success. The "Autofrei" project was supported by the FM's Climate Resistance Funds and by technical experts of the FM.
The stamp design symbolizes the eternal fight between hope and failure, light and darkness, nature and destruction. Neither victory nor defeat are final. The three years are embedded in a spiral mixing green (for hope) and brown (for destruction). The stamp was issued in small sheets of 8, with each stamp linked to a border field displaying the Federation flag.

Parcel Service Issue "Douglas Adams"
On the 25th of May, known as "Towel Day" , many people all over the world honour the visionary author Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001). On the 25th anniversary of the festivity, Posta tal Musograd has issued a Parcel stamp, valued at CW 4.20, which displays the signature of the author. The stamp was issued in small sheets of 6. Each stamp is linked to a border field with the text "PARCEL SERVICE".
The stamp is the first "parcel stamp" issue of PtM, covering the local small parcel fee, with three stamps representing the international parcel fee. To mark it as a parcel stamp, blue gummed paper has been used. It is also an experimental stamp, the first PtM stamp featuring a dynamically generated QR code. The encoded URL points to the current section of this web site, but to show it was dynamically created, a stamp serial number was embedded into the URL via the "?" parameter option. In the future, such dynamic URLs could be used for shipment tracking purposes.

Commemorative Issue "Shoolscath 5th Anniversary"
On 2021.06.03, after 16 months of extreme effort by Musogradi Armije and supporting forces, the "Shoolscath" operation ended in a catastrophic exchange of missiles, with the surviving forces of M.A. being withdrawn over the following weeks. Each year on that day, the FM and Musograd honour the tragic victims of both sides. For the 5th anniversary, Posta tal Musograd has issued a stamp showing a graphical rendering of the Shoolscath HQ building, code named "GKS".

Commemorative Issue "Forest Fires in Europe"
In the summer of 2026, extreme fires have scorched large areas in France, Spain, Greece, Turkey and other regions of Europe. The F.M., also hit by heat and fires, declare their support to the victims. The fires must be seen as the "writing on the wall", a menetekel of what is to come, driven by the climate crisis and human stupidity. The stamp issue combines the Hebrew text "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin" from the biblical story of Belshazzar's feast with a composite image of a large bush fire seen by the 2008 Australija expedition.
The stamp was issued in large sheets of 4 by 7 stamps, without any border decoration.

State Commemorative Issue "SRM - Life on Mars"
Fifty years ago, in 1976, two NASA probes, "Viking 1" and "Viking 2", touched down on Mars. Both carried 3 experiments designed to detect bacterial life on the planet. For both probes, all 3 experiments gave a positive result. But the scientists were scared about the implications and thus agreed on negating this result, focussing instead of a mass spectrometer experiment which now has been proven to have delivered an incorrect result. As a consequence, no further search for current life was done by later probes. Those were only looking for traces of past life. In "Meet the neighbours" , the biochemist Stephen Benner makes a very good case that, actually, 50 years ago, life was discovered on Mars.
The Scientific Republic of Murwillumbah decided to celebrate this anniversary with a stamp. SRM scientists have always wondered about the "chemically active" Mars surface reported at the time. The stamp shows an image shot by Viking 1, showing the probe arm and some scratch mark where the first probes of the Mars surface were taken. On the sheet margins, a sketch of the probe is shown.

Micro Euro Summit Brno 2026
On 2026.08.15, the fifth Micro Euro Summit will take place in Brno, Czech Republic. This year, the Postmaster General of Posta tal Musograd will represent the Federated Micronations at the event. PtM will display their latest stamp issues, offering to create First Day Covers with the dedicated MES 2026 issue. The Postmaster will also held a presentation on the subject of Leopold Kohr .
The stamp shows an AI supported rendering of the square in front of the conference location, the Old Town Hall of Brno, with representants of various Micronations (some of them invented by the AI) displaying their National Flags. The stamp was issued in small sheets of 10 stamps each, with the top border decorated with the MES 2026 logo and the bottom border with the Flag of the Federated Micronations. A numbered special issue was also printed on heavy matt paper, with 8 stamps in a 3 x 3 layout, the center filled with the full sized MES 2026 logo. It is not available for purchase (except for standing orders) and will only be distributed to selected participants of the conference.
