Grenada is described as a spice island, since it produces large quantities of cloves and
mace and about a third of the world’s nutmeg. It also grows cacao, sugar,
bananas and a wide variety of other fruit and vegetables. Some of its beaches,
specially Grand Anse, a dazzling two-mile stretch of white sand, are very fine,
but the rest of the island is just as beautiful, rising from a generally rugged
coast to a spectacular mountainous interior. The island is green, well forested
and cultivated and is blessed with plenty of rain in the wet season. Grenada is
the most southerly of the Windward Islands. In contrast to other Windward Islands
which have had a similar history of disputed ownership between the French and
English, the French cultural influence in Grenada has completely died out. The
population is very young; 38% are under 15 years old and nearly 26% are in
the 15-29 years’ age bracket. Grenada has two dependencies in the
Grenadines chain, Carriacou
and Petit (often spelt Petite) Martinique.

Guyana is a little country, which lies on the North Eastern shoulder of South
America near the equator.
Said to be the legendary El Dorado, Guyana is the only English-speaking country
located in South America. The name 'Guyana' is derived from an Amerindian word
meaning; land of many waters - and indeed it is a land of many waters- with three
mighty rivers and many tributaries, creeks and waterfalls.

A beautiful new souvenir sheet from Liberia.
|
It is rare that we find two such magnificent souvenir
sheets from the same country, in the same year, showing
the working dogs. These are truly made for your Rottweiler
collections.

Tadjikistan plays a fascinating role in the power struggle in central Asia.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the declaration of independence
by the former Soviet republics, Tadjikistan acquired national sovereignty for
the first time in history. Inexperience, in conjunction with a particular
clan-oriented, regional-based, political culture established the foundation for
the prolonged conflict that ensued in post-Soviet Tadjikistan. The intensity of
this conflict has been further fueled by the ethnic and historical externalities
of the unresolved political situation in Afghanistan.

An awesome sheet indeed; all Rottweilers in every age range.
|
Turkmenistan also put out a new souvenir sheet with the
Rottweiler puppies and adults.
|
This is probably
one of the most amazing mini sheets ever produced.
There are eighteen breeds represented and
they have managed to run a perforation line
through every one.
My, what
an accomplishment. The Rottweiler
is shown enlarged to the right.

aren't we lucky they chose the Rottweiler to represent
their countrys' stamp.
