    Default Stamps from Guiana, or French Guiana

    Is there a Stamps category missing for Guiana, formerly French Guiana?

    Admittedly, it is a French overseas territory, part of the EU even though it is in South America.

    Other overseas territories: Reunion has its own category, Martinique, Mayotte and Guadeloupe do not, unless I missed something.

    Guyana can be found in Stamps : Central & South America.

    The current French Guiana we feel does not warrant its own category.

    But each country DOES need its own category if you want the stamp listings to look professional.

    And sellers need to list in the correct category where countries have pre- and post independence categories. Too many just dump them in the pre-independence section.
    Ghost categories for all such cases would help greatly as we have for St Lucia. However, most of the post independence issues are in the preindependence section which creates a bad impression for a potential buyer.

    Tony, I've been asking for someone to settle down with a catalogue and create the complete set of categories for some years.

    The refusal of genuine countries along with the creation of Nagaland (which exists but has never issued postage stamps) just highlights the situation

    Seller behaviour is a quite separate problem.
