THE FERAL REPUBLIC



The Feral Republic is found on an isle in the Paraphilatelic Ocean. It has no capital city, as all that can be found that resembles a town or village is a lone structure that serves as a Provisional Post Office. This facility is used only in times of national emergency, such as when mail is received from abroad, a rare event in the Feral Republic in these days of text messages, etc.. insofar as a single human inhabitant inhabits this isle, much as in the manner of those Scottish rocks with thin topsoil, seeking postal recognition. 

The Feral Republic does not seek such postal validity from any official or nonofficial entity, as the spirit of the Feral people is that of Wild Beasts. One might note the various lands that lie across the sea from the Feral Republic, such as Artsikraphtsi, and the Kyootsi Wootsi Peninsula.

To the west is a nefarious unnamed isle called the Pirate's Lair. To the northwest is Poste Mahdern, a curious island with two port cities named Op and  Pop, etc. The village of Phluks is on an island to the northeast. Directly to the east is Lower Kavellinia, a large landmass, whose capital is Pollywollydoodle. The Bay of Lower Kavellinia has two towns: Bobtail and Nag. The Casinos in these towns bring much revenue to the land.
