Zealandia Post

Zealandia Postal Service is the state-owned enterprise operating the official postal service of Zealandia, which serves all of the country and its outlying areas and dependencies.
== History ==
The Zealandia Post, a government agency, was organized in 1975 to replace the old Zealandian postal service organization, Zealandia Mail. Mail services are mandated by the 1949 constitution, and the government has run a postal service ever since.
The current postal service replaced the preexisting one during the reforms of the 1970s that created much change in Zealandia. The replacement service was designed to be more efficient and cost-effective than the antiquated previous service, which used the same model for service that existed in the 1880s.
== Regulation & Operation ==
The Zealandia Post holds a monopoly on the delivery of non-parcel paper mail. Additionally, for all packages shipped through Zealandia Post and for all paper mail shipped within the country, stamps are required to be purchased from Zealandia Post.
Under national law, it is illegal for another privately-owned company to operate a service based on mail delivery, as the government-owned Zealandia Post is the sole provider of this service in the country. Package delivery services, however, do not fall under the monopoly, and private businesses in this industry are allowed to compete with Zealandia Post.
Zealandia Post operates 6 days of the week, with Sunday having no mail deliveries across the country.
Zealandia Post is the only delivery service for non-parcel mail in the country and the number 1 delivery service for parcels in the country as well. Zealandia Post offers competitive and often below-market prices thanks to government support, and this has helped the postal service outpace other private competition.
=== Issue of stamps ===
Zealandia Post is responsible for the designing and production of stamps used for payment when mailing paper letters or larger parcels. Only Post Zealandia is allowed to issue any sort of stamps in the entire country, and stamps are necessary for mailing anything in Zealandia, even when using private mailing services. All stamps bear the name "Zealandia" on them to identify them as stamps from within the country. Each year the Zealandia Post decies how many stamps should be issued and what the stamps will depict. The postal service considers suggestions from the public for stamp design, and stamp designs generally reflect the character of the country or commemorate an event relevant to Zealandian history. Zealandia Post often collaborates with private enterprises for stamp designs as well. For example, the postal service collaborated with Air Zealandia to commemorate the airline's 75th anniversary.
