COUNTRY # 39-PRINCIPALITY OF LICHTENBERG

















This cover just stopped my BREATHING for few seconds.This is from a micro nation named Principality of Lichtenberg.Lichtenberg was founded on July 15, 2010 by the current Sovereign Prince as a Hereditary Monarchy. The Current Sovereign Prince took the regal name of Maximilian and became His Serene Highness Prince Maximilian I of Lichtenberg. His Serene Highness stated a goal to create a country which is a modern day democracy with freedoms for everyone, but also a throw back to the Principalities of Germany.The Principality has over 100 citizens worldwide and this number is steadily growing. The stamps used for the cover shows a picture of Prince Maximilian.Prince Maximilian sent me this cover but thanks you very much for giving me such an awesome surprise!
