HI, i need a complete list of territories that ever issued stamp/stamps, but the tricky part is i need the list to include all countries, authorities and states
Like india
India - (under british rule)
India
India - Patiala (state)

or for germany
Germany - (b4 1945)
Germany - East Germany
Germany - West Germany
Germany - (united after 1991)

i think i try my best to clear my point that i need list of each authority but with a refference to a larger authority, its for stamps database that i'm working on...

Wow! That is a quite amazing task you have taken on. I suspect it might be a life's work - but it will be incredibly educative and rewarding.

To help get you started here is a list for Yugoslavia.

Before you get too scared, the ones marked with a * did not issue any stamps; but they can be represented by postmarks.
There are a number of the stamp entities which were unofficial and not recognised by some catalogues; I have not marked those, because it is more a matter of opinion and interpretation.

Greetings Mr. cyberbeast
.
Wow, that sounds ambitious and daunting. I already have a list. It is over 38 pages long (single spaced) but only goes up to 1989*.
.
Just using your examples, India had six Convention States up until 1950: Chamba, Faridkot, Gwalior, Jind, Nabha, and Patiala that had postal authority. Add to that 35 Feudatory States that issued stamps through various times between 1869 and 1951. Plus you forgot the Scinde District Post of India from 1852 through 1854, the East India Company betwixt 1854-1860, and you can divide the British Rule between the British Colony (from 1860-1877) and Empire Under British Crown (1877-1947). From 1947 stamps were issued under the authority for India by Independent British Domain until 1950 when it became a republic.
.
Germany is also convoluted. Prior to 1872 you have the German States, seventeen of them. Most of them have overlapping jurisdiction in both territory and time. From 1872 to 1918 the postal authority for Germany was the German Empire. From 1918 to 1933 was the Republic. From 1933 to 1945 it was the Nazi State with stamp issuing powers. After World War II you'll find the jumbled mess of Occupation Zones and Protection Zones.
.
I don't want to discourage you, but why reinvent the wheel? The information is already out there (somewhere). I would redirect your efforts finding a list, rather than recreating it. That's just my humble opinion.
.
Respectfully,

Gordon Lee

There is a list on Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entities_that_have_issued_postage_stamps_%28A-E%29
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entities_that_have_issued_postage_stamps_%28F_%E2%80%93_L%29
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entities_that_have_issued_postage_stamps_%28M_%E2%80%93_Z%29

I collect each country, dead or alive, but focus on France, French African colonies, older German area, allegorical men, carnivorous plants, Vikings, rock art, engraved pictorials.

thanks every one for all this information, and yes Gordon lee sir, it's looks much more daunting task then i previously thought. i think i have to start with a simple list them improve them using other more specialized lists that will save my time.
btw after seeing this list i wonder is there any person or more who have at least one stamps from all the authorities?
