Western Hungary

Western Hungary, or Lajtabánság, was a very short-lived republic, what is now Burgenland in Austria.
 * In August 1921, the region was to be annexed to Austria from Hungary by treaty. It revolted, releasing overprinted Hungarian stamps in September, known as the Sopron issue. The overprint reads Felkelő Magyarok / által megszállt / Nyugatmägyar ország / 1921. aug. szept.
 * In September, overprints were issued reading Nyugatmagyarország / 19 / 21 / „A“ ZONA with a skull and crossbones in color within.
 * In October, overprints were issued reading Lajtabánság-posta. These were backprinted 50% Felár / Fővezérség.
 * Handstamped overprints were created reading NYUGATMAGYARORSZAG / NÉPE / NEM / NEM / SOHA!. Korona values are in a slightly different format. These were never used.
 * In October, more overprints were released reading Felkelő / Magyarok / Északi / Hadserege / 1921, also never used.
 * Postage dues with the same overprint were issued.
 * A group of surcharges were released but never used, reading Nyugat- / Magyarszág / Westungarn / Orgland. with a large numeral of value. CTOs exist.
 * in November, a pictorial set inscribed Lajtabánság was released just before the government had ceased to exist. The designs are quite varied, to say the least. A few stamps are known to have been accepted in the mails, otherwise most were never used. CTOs exist.
 * Postage dues inscribed Lajtabánság were also released but never used.
 * Lajtabánság ended when rebel forces afreed to leave in November 10 and the region became part of Austria.
