Union Postal Office

The Union Post Office is the governmental postal service of the Federal Union of Columbia. It is one of the few governmental institutions that remains loved by most civilians.

History
The Union Postal Office was established through an act of Congress in 2600, making it one of the oldest institutions in Columbia. Despite being established by Congress, Ron Gooseson, a Colorado native, gets most of the credit for its founding due to his role as the first Postmaster General.

Culture and Society
Working for the Union Postal Office is considered an honor by many due to its heroic role in Columbian history, that being the dutiful delivering of mail in an orderly fashion. Most Columbians understand that a weak post office is more detrimental to the fabric of society at large than a dysfunctional government is. Because of these lofty expectations, working for the post office can be a highly stressful undertaking.

Mailmen are expected to deliver mail on time regardless of the context of the situation. Neither snow nor sleet nor war can keep the mail from being delivered. This creed, rather controversially, has been attributed to the deaths of multiple couriers since 2600.
