As mentioned in July, this month there will be no due to summer holiday. The competition will resume in September.

@opencage I would have to press deeper to know for sure, but Meฤ‘ureฤje is a Bosnian๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ exclave surrounded by Serbia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ and on zip.nowmsg.com/rs_postal_code. I find they have a Serbian postcode (32255)

@opencage And depending on what you mean with "other country", Farล“๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ด used to used Danish๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ postcodes but now use their own, 3-numbered, but are integrated into Danish system by the FO-prefix. So while Denmark uses 4-numbered postal codes, you can address to FO-100, if I understand da.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A6r correctly

Power move by @njwatt who correctly notes that Micronesia ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Marshall Islands ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ญ and Palau ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ผ use the USPS๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ and thus bags three points

Well done!

Half a point to @matt_travis for citing the odd ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฉAndorran situation, where the postal service is run by both the Spanish ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธand French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท systems (though they have their own postcodes)
