Question 1: What port issued 13 emergency stamps when blockaded by United Kingdom, Germany and Italy?

Question 2: What province in a Latin American country issued its own stamps (valid only in the province) because its remoteness meant it had its own laws?

First correct response with correct answers received at or before noon eastern US time, August 11, 2021 will be the winner. Correct answers can be spread over more than one response. If there is no correct answer, first response to both questions wins. My selection of winner will be final.

Good luck to all who choose to participate!

First one: Carupano in Venezuela blocked in 1902-1903.
Second one might be Guanacaste in Costa Rica.
#1 I agree with allexis, Carupano in Venezuela.
#2 Corrientes in Argentina.

Congratulations, allexis! Carupano and Guanacaste are the answers.

Newtony, Corrientes was virtually independent when it issued stamps, not a province of Argentina until after.

The winnings also include a Rwanda set for ITU (missed that when typing description).

Might be a couple of days until next giveaway.

Cheers mate!
