NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF VUYANA

Vuyana is an independent state in West Merreminde. For many years it was ruled by Governor Tom, who is seen on many stamps of the land. For a time Vuyana was incorporated into the short-lived Binklish Empire, ruled by Scarabeus Binkel, a rogue stamp dealer from Binkel County.

Scarabeus Binkel and Governor Tom were best of friends, sharing a common affinity to piracy and a love of stamps.

Scarabia, whose postage due stamps appear on a number of the covers seen here was a state established by members of Binkel's crew at the time the Digby Brothers conquered the Barbaru Frie Stajt, the center of Binkel's Empire. Later Scarabia became a member of the Trucial States of West Merreminde, and was lead by Zababba Mc Bink, a philatelic speculator. LOL

Sea Dog is the location of the first settlements in Vuyana, but the Vu Enclave has long been the capital city.  Taylorsville to the south was established by Samuel Allen Taylor in the last years of his life, where in his old age he printed some woodblock local carrier post fantasy stamps, now lost to time, as the ravages of the jungle are unkind to paper products. Taylor produced the world's first bogus stamp of Paraguay.  Taylor is known as one of the leading fantasy stamp fabricators in the 19th century in the far off lands of  Canada and America. LOL
