Default Which country has issued the most stamps under the tutelage of another country?

This is a question that has been puzzling me. We all know that there
are many modern countries which at some point in their existence were
either occupied or under the protectorate of another country
especially during the colonial times. Does anyone know,however, which
country has had the most stamps issued under different countries'
control. I personally believe it's Morocco. I have seen local stamps
issued as early as the late 19th Century, followed by Italian ones,
then there are the french protectorate ones and the Spanish Moroccan
stamps and Tetuan followed by the British stamps,the German stamps and
finally the Post Independence modern Moroccan stamps. Are there any
other countries you can think of that have had stamps issued or
overprinted from as many other countries?
Tracy, maybe this 'll get this group talking again?

While this is not quite the same the Levant posts established by the various
European powers in Turkey.

- Austria
- United Kingdom
- France
- Italy
- Russia
- Romania (sort of)
- Poland

Again not quiet the same but China of course

- Japan
- France
- United Kingdom
- US

Now, does anyone know whether the Anglo American Condominium over
the Canton and Enderbury Islands is still in existence?

A google search turned up several webpages that said that the US gave up
its claims to these islands in 1979 and that they are now part of Kiribati.

It all depends on what you mean by tutelage. You mention Morocco, but then
that definition will also include all French, British, German Danish, etc.
countries.
