Fiji!
Let's get straight to the card:
Copied from the backside: "The pristine waters of Fiji's coral islands are home to a wide variety of fish and coral species. These amazing sights are normally easily accessed through the local resort facilities or by booking one of the many local tours."
I just hope the tourists don't get intimidated by the angry-looking fella on the left.

Street life of Ghana
A typical market scene from Ghana. Unfortunately I do not know typical African fruit and vegetables, but I assume that in the top left corner you can see Yam.
The stamp shows John Atta Mills, former president of Ghana, greeting U.S. President Barack Obama during the G8 summit in Camp David, in May 2012.

Beach of Bali
This is a beautiful beach of Lombok, an island near Bali in Indonesia. And they have scary spider boats.
The stamps commemorate Mohammad Natsir, former prime minister of Indonesia, and Sutomo, a national war hero.

Isle of Spice
This first card shows the inner harbour of St. George's, the capital city of Grenada. The picture was taken from a high point called the "Carenage".
The cannons in this next postcard used to protect Fort George, which was built by the French in the 17th century to defend against the British and the Spanish.
Stamp #1 shows the French anglefish. #2 depicts a Mourning cloak butterfly. The parrot in the third stamp is a blue-and-yellow macaw (yes, it's actually called so). The last stamp shows Oncidium Papilio, an orchid.

I'm not 100% sure what the stamp shows but surely somebody is willed to help out?
UPDATE: It's the Ryazan Kremlin.

God Save the Queen
It's all about Elizabeth II on this card.
I've labeled the card "England" so hopefully I'll be able to get a card from Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, too.
And here's a cute, smaller queen:
