The United Aethernet Nations is kindred to what we in the real world refer to as the United Nations. In the fantasy continent of Amphora, the United Aethernet Nations is located in New Urak in Alaya. The United Aethernet Nations purchased some rocket planes from the City of the Moon in eastern Amphora and established the first modern, mechanized air transport deliveries.

Previously the Boobie Bird Courier Services found in Buto were the only international air mail delveries found in Amphora. Later Parrot Courier mail and Pelican Courier Mail arose along the Barbaru Coast.

The Boobie Couriers International, the Union of Butonian air mail delivery personnel, persuaded Blythe's Boobie Courier Service to print some Air Freight Surcharge stamps to tax the air mail deliveries that landed on the Isle of Buto. Funds derived from the sale of these stamps was used to offset losses that affected the local boobie bird courier systems.

The Itchy Holler Radio Missionaries, who developed a local courier system for Binkel County, seeing that the Boobie Birds were remunerated through postal taxation, thought that this was the best solution to the quandaries arising from incoming foreign mail, a new phenomenon for Binkel County.

The Itchy Holler Radio Missionaries had basically taken over what used to be an independent state in eastern Amphora, known as Cybrea, or Cyborea, etc. Converting the local population to the use of radio, Cybrea became known as the Cybrean Radio Mission, a part of the Digby Brothers Empire.
