United Nations 306
The stamp issued in 1979
has a number of drawing errors. The United Kingdom appears as one island.
Mexico is anorexic. Denmark is a sort of land-bridge between Europe
and the Scandinavian peninsula, turning the Baltic Sea, and the Gulfs
of Bothnia and Finland into an inland sea. Greenland and northern
Canada are connected, and there seems to be strip of land attached
to the east coast of Greenland at the edge of the map. The islands of
Cuba and Hispaniola are too large and are lined up pointing toward
southeast. They are really lined up almost straight east and west. The
island of Madagascar is too long.
