Cabinda

Cabinda is a northern province of Angola separated by a part of the the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is a real place while the stamps supposedly issued for it are not.

It has been the subject of a totally fake exile government since 1975. Since then, beginning in 2000, old Angolan stamps appeared with the bogus overprint CABINDA. Ah, but there's more. Bogus topical sheetlets and souvenir sheets followed, inscribed "Republica de Cabinda". Not missing a trick, The Usual Suspects also surcharged their bogus Angolan issues for CABINDA.
