Central African Republic

The Central African Republic or République Centrafricaine is appropriately named since it is a country in central Africa.


 * The former Ubangi-Shari unit of French Equatorial Africa became independent in December 1958 and issued its first stamp in 1959.
 * In 1977, older stamps were overprinted Empire Centrafricaine. This name would continue until...
 * 1979, when the stamps and the country name would return to République Centrafricaine.
