A Mermaid Micronation

What is a micronation? It is a land that is totally fictional, an
artistic creation. Many hobbyists with a cultural bent develop
micronations, inventing flags, coats of arms, history, maps, as
well as stamps and coins.

I have developed a variety of aquatic micronations over the
years, mostly as an extension of my interest in faux postage
stamps.

The Jessamine Isle is my most recent imaginary mermaid
nation.




THE MYSTERY OF THE MERMAIDS

On the links at the bottom of this post you can find stamps from
mermaid nations such as Merreminde, Undinia, Amphitritonia,
Amphora, and Delphys. My book, 'The Mystery of the Mermaids:
Goddesses and Gods of the Sea'~now out of print~may explain
my interest in the theme.
