Best I've heard was

                  Robbie, New Zealand.

The then Mayor of Auckland, Sir Dove Myer Robinson, was universally
known as Robbie and very well known.
The letter was sent by an Australian politician when Robbie told him
that the address would work

At one stage

"Piggy, NZ" would definitely have got to the Prime Minister.

"Sir Ed, NZ" to sir Edmund Hillary.

Even now "Shadbolt, NZ" would probably get to the mayor of
Invercargill, and "Tim Shadbolt, NZ" definietly would.

"Dr Ropata, NZ" would still probably get to a man who mis not a Dr and
not named Ropata.

Holmesy ...

And a few more.
