The Picketralian Postal Service was created in Clause III of the Picketralian Economy Revitalization Act of 1013 after the [[Panic of 1013]]. Originally, it was meant to be a temporary means of producing money for the government in an attempt to revitalize the economy. Initial revenue was slow, however, citizens once realized its full potential, and began using it, and revenue soared. When the Picketralian Economy Finalization Act of 1013 was passed in June of that year, it remained, and was allotted more government funding. However, wealthy people still preferred the Picketralian Courier Company, and thus, the postmaster at the time, Frougdown Yellowston, purchased the company with his own money and folded it into the company. | The Picketralian Postal Service was created in Clause III of the Picketralian Economy Revitalization Act of 1013 after the [[Panic of 1013]].

In 1030, the company created Long Distance Mailing which began service to parts of Moria, Mordor, and Frankfurt. Mailing to these destinations would cost an additional fee and the amount of time it took for mail to reach these countries could be several weeks or more. Yet, they continued constructing more postal infrastructure, and officially opened mailing service to the then-independent nations of [[Flourtess]], [[Duchy of Portichoke|Portichoke]] and [[Cardashia]], as well as service to [[Alfheim]], [[Carabsland]], and full service to all regions in Moria, in 1043. | |||
During the [[Battle of Kennings]] of 1201, part of Cardashia's plan was to severely tamper with postal service to and from [[Stimpton]]. However, as they never reached Stimpton and were defeated at Arrowhead Point in [[Snowdon County]] on the [[Stimpton River]], this never occurred. However, it gave the company ideas on how to improve mailing protection. They created the Postal Police, a force of policemen, investigators, and soldiers, who would track down mail theft and fraud. They also strengthened postal laws. The Postal Police would be abolished in 1345 due to budget cuts. | |||
