In addition to a regular postal service, the postal service assigns an email to every address. Every single household is given a virtual storage box and an email address through the post office. The extension for the postal email is .ucpo. The government delivers domestic mail and packages on a daily basis. There is a special rate for Sunday. Mail can also be delivered by QR Code in addition to stamps. Much of the mail delivery is automated and drones often drop off boxes on second floors of houses or window pads for mail security.

The post office works with the NVPN National Virtual Private Network to help reduce the use of paper. People are encouraged to go paperless using systems like Office in A Desk which is a complete virtual office.

The only postal service in Vardocalifar is the government-owned Federal Postal Service (FedPost). FedPost uses a large fleet of over 2,000 bikes and vans. Long distance, or inter-island mail and packages are carried by the privately-owned government-approved airline VAL on behalf of FedPost.

The Australian Postal Service is operated by the Federal Consolidated Transportation Syndicates, though other Syndicates may utilise their own internal postal services. The A.P.S. has several branches that each hold purview over a certain type of post - freight (both industrial and commercial), international mail, and domestic mail. As the postal system is still the most commonly used method of long-distance written communication, as the internet is still developing, and as it operates as a freight carrier too, the A.P.S. is one of the larger branches of the F.C.T.S. A member of the Secretariat of the F.C.T.S. is delegated the position of Postmaster-General - at present held by Cz. Stephen Callaghan - by the Syndic Assembly and is accountable to the Federal Cabinet Minister for Transportation, which is - at present - Cz. Nasim Sardar Karzai.

A postal address would be written as follows;

[Full Name or Business Name]
[Unit and/or Street Number and Street Name]
[Commune and postal code]
[State or Territory]

For example;

John Citizen
1/22 Federal Street
Commune of Central Canberra 001
Capital Territory

The A.P.S. maintains a distribution centre within the capital of every state and territory, and all communes maintain a post office and cadre of posties for local service. The use of Post Boxes, as opposed to at-home mailboxes, is very common. The A.P.S., in addition to postage, also designs and produces envelopes, packaging, stamps, and postcards for citizens' use.
January 27° - The 2025 Federal Election season has begun! Initial three-party preferred polls put the I.S.P. ahead at 37%, followed by the Country Party at 34%, then Labor at 29%.

There are a few, but usually the State-controlled postal service, QLPS, is used.

You write a letter the following:

Name Surname / Business Name (Patrinymic or Matrinymic is also often inserted between the Name and the Surname)
Street name, House number
City/Town, Autonomous Territory/Province/Republic
Region, Country (Usually the endonym is used, but it's fine to write USAHA instead of 'Cooniiya Qha'eniya ы Xayase')

Example for foreigners:

Eric Example
Example Street, 100
Victoria, Victoria
Southern Coastal Region, USAHA

Example for citizens: (We're just going to use the Chancellor here)

Marray Xaseye Zeve
Mshevaye Avenue, 48
Aleneva, South-West Alaska and Kodiak
Northern Coastal Region, Cooniiya Qha'eniya ы Xayase

Mail is one of the most well-supported aspects here in Demotek. The Demotek National Postal Office is the government postal service, with at elast two branches in each community. It handles virtually the whole thing on letters and the most prominent used in packages and parecels (with minor competition from local areas such as massive cities). They get a nice sum of money from the government along with having stamps assisting in funding it.

They also serve as government offices where residents and citizens can get additional services such as postal banking (it's as popular as credit unions), obtaining forms, voting related phenomena (such as the axtual act along with registation) and passport purposes. They provide a pretty steady and reliable job

Postby Coconut Palm Island » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:49 pm

In Coconut Palm Island, the postal services are largely antiquated-- letters cannot even be sent any longer, except in very specific circumstances. Because all citizens have smartphones (including the low income-- the Government helps citizens remain connected), there is no need for sending letters. Official messages from law enforcement, lawyers, medical professionals, etc. can be sent to citizens through iCPI, an app for citizens to connect with the government (this is also where citizens vote in elections and contact elected officials).

However, packages are transported through the Coconut Palm Island Postal Service (CPIPS). CPIPS maintains over 100 offices on the Island, where citizens can go to ship packages (and, when necessary, letters) to other offices. Small packages are delivered via drone, large packages are delivered manually. While CPIPS is nationalized, it charges fees, and does not use tax revenue to operate. Shippers pay a fee to ship their package from one station to another (greater if the package must be picked up, rather than citizen dropping it off at the station). Receivers also pay a small fee, which can be waived if they pick the package up rather than requiring delivery; this fee is waived for the economically disadvantaged.

Carthatska Postal Services (CPS) is a government-funded postal service using cars specially designed for speed and quick braking. They oftentimes deliver letters to and from the government, because they're forbidden from delivering packages. This is to prevent it from keeping smaller delivery services from becoming larger.

The Imperial Courier Service is well over two thousand years old at this point, and also operates the Empire's telephone and electronic networks. It has an effective monopoly by virtue of being free for personal use, and charging only nominal fees from businesses.

Physical mail service has largely been supplanted by electronic messages, but what remains (mostly parcels) is distributed by conveyors within arcologies, by automated vac-trains regionally, and by teleport intercontinentally.

The postal services are state run but managed by each province because there are many remote islands, this allowed land-only transport for local packages.

Like in many nations, letters and parcels were delivered by individually hired couriers by the wealthy, the clergy or the crown. When literacy rates began to rise as more people outside the clergy learnt to read, many small companies formed to deliver post across the seven counties. When the Seven Counties of Countesia unified into the Kingdom of Countesia, one of the first act of the monarchy was to unify and nationalise these companies into the Royal Countesian Mail Service, which was the first nationwide postal service to exist. in the 1950's the state enforced monopoly was ended by royal decree and several competitors immediately cropped up, most did not survive but a handful grew into entities rivalling Royal Countesia Mail, eventually surpassing it as many of these would go on to provide international services.

When the monarchy was abolished, and the Federal Government Enacted, the Royal Countesian Mail was re-named the Countesian Federal Mail Service. The Countesian Federal Mail Service today responsible for 57% of all postal services in Countesia.

The Nation of Trumpski employs two (2) primary government agencies charged with delivering correspondence, packages, propaganda and fresh hot Pizza.

The two entities are:
1. TQPS (Trumpski Quantum Parcel Service) and
2. TExQDS (Trumpski Extraterrestrial Quantum Delivery Service).

Details of these two agencies are classified. However, The Ministry of Deep Secrets mistakenly left a photograph, containing simplified statements of advanced Quantum Entanglement and Unified Field Theory equations used by these agencies on a copy machine in the Deep Secrets Music Studio. The copy was thought to be a newly scored theme song for a propaganda campaign and allowed to leave the building in the guitar case of JR Screech, session guitarist. At home, Mr. Screech struggled to play anything derived from the advanced mathematics but his 11 year old son, a physics major, recognized the quantum calculations, questioned his father and promptly flooded the Interwebs with photos of the secret document.

Since the Cat is out of the Box as they say in Physics, Trumpski embraced the opportunity to highlight (without any further secrets) the awesome Hugeness of Trumpski technology.

The Imperial Post and Parcel Service (IPPS) carries letters and packages everyday except Sundays, Holidays, and Imperial Celebrations. Days with inclement weather result in delays, as no mail is worth risking the safety of our carriers. Third Parties like Amazon are expected to carry their own parcels, or pay a premium to have the Imperial Service do it for them.

Is there one or several? There are three postal services: the National Postal Agency (Spanish: Agencia Postal Nacional, APN), United Postal Service (Spanish: Servicio Postal Unido, SPU), and Oronian Postal Service (Spanish: Servicio Postal de Oronia, SPO).
What transport do they use? Airplanes (for international mail, packages, and parcels), rail, ferries, vehicles
Who owns them? The APN is the national postal service of the United Realms, created in 1835 by the Congreso Nacional. Under the jurisdiction of the Housing, Infrastructure, and Transport Ministry, the APN is managed by the Postmaster General (appointed by the President with Senate and Crown assent). It oversees the post offices that are present in the municipalities of the United Realms, as well as in the barrios within larger municipalities; each post office is managed by a postmaster, who is appointed by the Postmaster General. The SPU and SPO are privately-run postal services that operate within the post offices with their own staff and modes of transport; the SPU tends to be the primary private postal service of the smaller islands within the United Realms, as well as Northern Platalonia, while the SPO is that of the main island of Oronia.
