Great Britain. That is in respect to their having invented the postage stamp. But they do have to display a picture of the Sovereign.

"Postage stamp countries" are tiny countries "the size of postage stamps" but that is not how they got that name. These countries issue postage stamps as a source of revenue. Most of their stamps are bought by worldwide stamp collectors rather than being used for delivering domestic mail. Four European postage stamp countries are: • Liechtenstein • Luxembourg • Monaco • San Marino
US Scott #306 Martha Washington was the first American woman to appear on a US Postage stamp on that date. However, Queen Isabella of Spain was pictured in the Columbus series.
I don't know if anyone has actually counted, but it is most probably Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. She has ruled England for over 50 years and in that time has appeared on every British stamp issued as well as hundreds of others issued by the members of the British Commonwealth.
That will depend on the stamp and the country it is from. Sometimes it is the engraver's name. It could be a plate number. It might even be the name of the printing company.
Yes, you certainly can! In the US, and most countries, stamps do not lose there value, particularly if they are less than a few years old. And as long as the combination adds up to or exceeds the necessary value, they can be combined.
Most postage stamps have words on them. The name of the country of issue has to appear on the stamp, except for Great Britain.
Great Britain does not have their name on their postage stamps. They do all have a picture, sometimes small, of the reigning monarch at the time of issue.
