Koryakia

Koryakia, or Корякия, is a okrug/district covering the northern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula and points north within the Russian Federation. It's cold there.

While Koryaki is a real place, it does not and never issued its own stamps; the stamps supposedly being issued by it come from a printer's imagination and greed for your money. Beginning in the early 1990s, old Soviet stamps were surcharged with КОРЯКСКЯЯ РЕСПУБЛИКЯ or similar names, also with various topical images. Topical sheetlets and sets on a range of subjects have followed, inscribed КОРЯКИЯ, etc., etc. Collectors have justified buying these by saying that the images are licensed and their favorite celebrities have approved their use. Aahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahah!  File:Koryakia marine life.jpg|bogus Arctic wildlife surcharges. File:Koryakia owls sheet.jpg|bogus owls sheetlet.
