520    A multitude of countries that once existed have since been
       erased from the map. Varying vastly in size and shape, 
       location and longevity, the fifty 'nowherelands' in this 
       book are united by one fact: all of them endured long 
       enough to issue their own stamps. Some of their names, 
       such as Biafra or New Brunswick, will be relatively 
       familiar. Others, such as Labuan, Tannu Tuva, and Inini, 
       are far less recognizable. But all of these lost nations 
       have stories to tell, whether they were as short-lived as 
       Eastern Karelia, which lasted only a few weeks during the 
       Soviet-Finnish War of 1922, or as long-lasting as the 
       Orange Free State, a Boer Republic that celebrated fifty 
       years as an independent state in the late 1800s. Their 
       broad spectrum reflects the entire history of the 
       nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with its ideologies, 
       imperialism, waves of immigration, and conflicts both 
       major and minor. The motifs and symbols chosen for stamps 
       have always served as a form of national self-presentation,
       an expression of the aims and ambitions of the ruling 
       authorities. Drawing on fiction and eye-witness accounts 
       as well as historical sources, Bjorn Berge's witty text 
       casts an unconventional eye on these lesser-known nations.
       Nowherelands is a different kind of history book that will
       intrigue anyone keen to understand what makes a nation a 
       nation.
