The first stamps of the first Muggy Royal Palace Post

The 2nd Union of Capitals was declared 2789 at Plato City, and thereafter in each of the other capitals. Unlike the 1st Union of Capitals which rotated the Capitals, Plato City became the fixed Capital of the 2nd Union of Capitals.

A few years before, printing onto paper had been invented utilizing wood-block and then stone-block presses. The Union introduced under the Fathers of Currency direction, a paper currency for the use between the capitals only. This co-incided with the Grand Revision of the Alphabets to provide the universal Alphabet that could be easily written the same as those that were printed.

The Palace treasury designed and then authorized the printing of sheets of stamps to be used by the Royal Designate Shipper for the purpose of charging for Royal and government letters and mails along the exclusive Royal Carriage Ways. It was decided that these stamps could only be printed and issued from Plato City for royal mails. Wherever possible the mails went by sea under the protection of the flag and then by land ways that were soon improved by paving, bridges, stables and fortifications. Special stamps were designed to show the ancient Gildo symbol of the 2nd Union of Capitals. That chosen was the oldest known carving from the Main Palace walls in Plato city which also appeared on the paper currency. The design also bore the new script for Plato and the numeral for one on either side. On the bottom it repeated the kings personal symbol. They were printed by the Palace Treasury in the Royal color of Plato City which was purple. Each stamp had the word for Plato on the top margin and the king of the treasury's personal sign on the bottom margin. These first sheets were hand printed on special 'palace jewel paper' and were at first not gummed or perforated. They were cut from the sheet and glued to the letters or goods. The first use of these stamps was a grand affair. In the summer of 2789 the Royal Designate Shipper and his guards made the round journey from Plato City to Greenscien to pay for the re-aquisition of the the Keysadore Canal to the authority of The Second Union of Capitals.
