Curaçao

Curaçao is a Lesser Antilles island in the southern Caribbean Sea and the Dutch Caribbean region, about 65 km north of the Venezuelan coast. It is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The country was formerly part of the Curaçao and Dependencies colony in 1815-1954 and later the Netherlands Antilles in 1954-2010, as "Island Territory of Curaçao" and is now formally called the Country of Curaçao. It includes the main island of Curaçao and the much smaller, uninhabited island of Klein Curaçao ("Little Curaçao"). Curaçao has a population of 149.600 (July 2017 est.) and an area of 444 km². Its capital is Willemstad, which is now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I sent an envelope with an international reply coupon to Curaçao in the hope they would return it. After waiting for two months I got it back inside a larger envelope. A perfect service of CPost International.

CPost has a website with an online shop: cpostinternational.com/shop-landing/. Most stamps from 2011 are still available.
