Post Office, Majuro, Marshall Islands

Fun Fact: The Marshall Islands are part of the domestic US Postal system. The mail can be sent to and from the Marshalls and the US with domestic rates, they have a US Zip Code (96960) and a state code (MH). There was a giant scandal a few years ago when the US Post Office tried to treat the Marshalls as a foreign country for postal purposes.

    Puerto Rico and USVI are US territories. The Marshall Islands are an independent country with a seat in the UN.
