Does anyone know any countries (or stamp issuing areas) which didn't issue overprints?
I've thought of a few (and would be delighted to be proven wrong)
Southern Nigeria Southern Rhodesia Zimbabwe South African Homelands: Bophuthatswana Ciskei Transkei Venda
Does anyone have overprints for these or know of any other areas or countries?

You are right in saying the homelands do not have any overprints. With Southern Rhodesia - their issued stamps do not have but their only postage due set is Great Britain overprinted "Southern Rhodesia".

Some overprints from Azores as a Portuguese colony  BUT, I don't have any since independence.  These stamps were issued by Portugal so they are not Azores overprints but Portuguese overprints. |

Quote: How about Northern Nigeria, and Northern Rhodesia? I have none for either country. Some Nigerian stamps were overprinted with "Cameroon" when part tried to break away (from memory) and Rhodesia overprinted a 7 1/2 cent stamp with 8c. So far, we have in order: Afars & Issas Ajman, Scott listed stamps Angra Antioquia Aruba Azores Belarus Bolivar Bophuthatswana Buenos Aires Ciskei Cordoba Corrientes Cundinamarca Czech Republic Lombardy Lombardy-Venetia Northern Nigeria Northern Rhodesia Southern Nigeria Southern Rhodesia Transkei Venda Zimbabwe |

Angra is a island department of the Azores and had no overprints, but the Azores has overprints up the wazoo.
Belarus , well my newest Cat is 1995! Afars & Issas was an easy one to miss, had I been reading the notes. |

Quote: but the Azores has overprints up the wazoo Please excuse my ignorance but I don't understand. Found some copies of Azores overprinted with Republica, is that what your comment refers to? How about other areas of the Azores: Horta, and Ponta Delgada? |

Quote: Wazzoo in this case mean many overprints implying too many overprints. Thanks for the clarification. I thought it may have been an area or river (if they have rivers) in the Azores.  I've never heard that expression before. |
