Post Codes Received on 21/09/14: Two new countries!!

These are the postal codes I received today:
Finland 33580
France 21850
Germany 35716
Singapore 760828
Sweden 13467
USA 49422

You may notice that we got TWO NEW countries! Welcome to the map Finland and Singapore! Having Finland means all the 3 Nordic countries are now in the map, the others being Norway and Sweden.

We also got a new state in USA, Michigan, making the count 16/50 states; a new region in France, Burgundy, making the count 5/27 regions; and a new county in Sweden, Stockholm, making the count 2/21 counties.

Now, the first thing that caught my attention was Singapore's postal code system... How can such a small country have 6 digits postal codes? I searched for information about it and it turns out Singapore uses a different postal codes for each building in the country! Do you guys know any other country that does this? You can leave a comment about it below.
