Capricornia Post is the state postal service of the Republic of Capricornia, member of the Federated Micronations.
Capricornia Post has come into existence with the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Capricornia on 2006.08.01. Due to its reliablilty and flexibility, it has extended its services quickly, first to Balangrad City, then to the Collateral Hellenic Territory in 2012, and finally in the form of "Capricornia Post Extraterritorial Agencies" (CPEA) to territories outside the Federated Micronations, like Fishtown Newport Territory (now Frya Nordland Territories) or the mobile postal agencies in the Baltics and the Mediterranean regions.
Capricornia Post issues only a low number of stamps each year, separated into the classic "Republic of Capricornia" issues first issued in 2006 and in the CPEA issues issued since 2015. The stamps issued have got a characteristic graphic design, are printed on matt gummed paper and manufactured by the Musogradian company Yourstamps . In many cases, they reflect the active foreign affairs involvement of Capricornia, also as part of the Federated Micronations. All stamps are still available for purchase.
On 2023.12.01, an agreement between Capricornia and Balanda Republic came into place allowing Capricornia Post to open post offices in Balanda Republic and to also issue "Balanda Republic" stamps. Those, like "Capricornia" labeled stamps denominated in CW, are valid throughout the area covered by Capricornia Post, but excluding the territories served by CPEA.
Capricornia Post is a member of the Micronation Postal Association MPA .
