LES ETATS BARBARU
Les Etats Barbaru is a federation of pirate nations off along the coast of West Merreminde. Rotter's Pit is a small autonomous republic to the east of Klop's Isle.
The cover you see above was salvaged from the wreck of the postal transport ship out of Besmooth. LOL The cover below shows the ink stains from the letter within. The blue cancels are designed from old insignias of the Barbaru region. LOL
Member states of Les Etats Barbaru include Klop's Isle, Skag Dog Republic, Rotter's Pit, Mukka Republic and Pelly's Nest. LOL [Those familiar with earth history may recognize Barbaru as a faux take off on 'Barbarun' or 'Barbary,' which are how the historically sensitive folk of that planet designate what more properly, by Amphoran standards, is known as the Barbaru Coast, a region 'first explored' by Scarabeus Binkel, but in actually colonized many centuries earlier by the multifarious indigenous peoples of West Merreminde.]
After the fall of the Binklish Empire, many crew members of Binkel's realm joined the pirates of the Barbaru Coast. LOL
