Royal mail was founded in 1066 by The Queen (at which time she was known as "The Princess") because she was tired of not being able to send messages to her friends. She travelled around in a minibus, hired from Eddie McCreadie of Balamory fame. It started off as a small-scale venture but in the year 1080, increasing popularity meant that it became a multi-planetary organisation. Not long after this, The Queen upgraded her minibus. It is now powered by an additional 4 corgies, instead of the two she started with.

Royal Mail says 80% of all mail would cost the same or less to send, but some prices would increase. Under the new system, called pricing in proportion (PiP), the mail will be split into three size categories: a standard letter envelope, an A4 envelope that will be known as a large letter, and a packet that will be charged accordingly.
