>>But you're right, the first few entities appear not to have copied. There should also be Aden & Aitutaki, I believe, to name two more. Newfoundland had full country-level status until about 1950, that's why it's there, I guess. Not sure about Nove Scotia, that's definitely in the "dead-country" status.

>The Aden Protectorate was named South Arabia in the early '60s and South Yemen upon independence in the late '60s. It merged, more or less, with "North" Yemen to create Yemen, around 1990. What was Aitutaki? I'm sure that's another old one.

Well, I have a lot of stamps from Aden :) Aitutaki was in the British Commonwealth for many years, and then merged with Cook Islands or Tonga or something like that for a couple decades. Now they're back issuing stamps again, but I'm not certain exactly what the status is...
