DARKLING JOHNNY AND THE MUKKA REPUBLIC

Darkling Johnny is one of many pirate captains who have established private nations along the Barbaru Coast of Southern Amphora. 

Pelly, a fierce female pirate captain, established Pelly's Nest, her own colony. The Skag Dog Republic was another small enclave on an isolated island. Rotter's Nest, off the shore of Klop's Isle, was established by pirates, as well as Klop's Isle, or Kiklop, an independent island nation created by Turkish pirates.

A nation settled by mandated privateers exists in the Sarfeathe Archipelago, south of Grot Eubia.

To the north of these developments off Cabo Apsarii, are the pirate states of Digbyland, and the Barbaru Frie Stajt, as well as Scarabia.

The cover above from the Mukka Republic was sent to Pegleg McPhopp, director of the Mutt Postal Museum in Wuff Bay in the Skag Dog Republic. The red wax seal of the Skag Postal Inspector is seen in the lower right hand corner of this letter, along with a handstamp indicating that the cover was confiscated for inclusion in the Postal Inspector's collection, an example of pirated pirate mail. LOL

PIRATE HOLIDAYS ON THE BUNGO

The above cover was sent to Wawa along the Bungo River in Bungowa from Mukka. The Bungowa postal service, was slow to deliver the mail, as cancels with postage due stamps applied a year later in 1899, indicate that the letter was delayed. It is most probable that the payment of the postal levies may have required a special intrusion into Mukka territory to accrue the postal duty due. '

As the local currency of this part of Bungowa is the human head, this may have been a time consuming mission.

The local courier system is called Headhunter Courier Mail.

The postage due stamps are old and rare stamps confiscated from the defunct colony of Aerpshire on the Bungo, which was defeated in battle with the indigenous Bungowis. The stamps have portraits of the original colonists, and have been overprinted by the Bungowa Postal Service, as paper for stamps is rare and rots easily in the jungle climate of the region. LOL
