Compendium of postage stamp issuers (Ni–Nz)

This section of the Compendium of Postage Stamp Issuers lists entities, both sovereign nations and other recognized authorities, that have issued postage stamps, covering the alphabetical range from "Ni" to "Nz". Each entry represents a distinct issuer and aims to provide relevant background information to assist stamp collectors and philatelists in identifying and understanding the origins of their stamps.

Information typically included for each entry may include:

• Official Name: The official designation of the issuing entity, both in English and, where relevant, the local language.
• Dates of Issuance: The period during which the entity issued postage stamps, indicating start and end dates, if applicable. If the entity is a current issuer, this is noted.
• Political Status: A brief description of the entity's political status during the period of stamp issuance (e.g., independent nation, colony, protectorate, occupied territory).
• Historical Context: Succinct historical information pertinent to understanding the issuer's existence and motivations for issuing stamps.
• Currency: The currency used for postage rates on stamps issued by the entity.
• Notes: Any additional relevant information, such as predecessor or successor entities, variations in official names, or unique characteristics of the stamp issues.
• Related Entities: Cross-references to other entries in the compendium that are historically or politically related to the issuer.

This compendium is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, though complete coverage is an ongoing effort. Corrections and additions from informed collectors and researchers are welcome. The information presented is believed to be accurate based on available sources, but verification is recommended for critical research purposes.
