MAIL CODES
A system of mailcodes has been introduced where every
shire, each having a two letter abbreviation, is divided into postal
districts each with a number. These are called primary mail districts.
These are further divided into secondary mail districts, each also
with a two letter designation, referring to the main town in the area,
or to the ward within a borough, followed by a number.

ADRESSING A LETTER
A letter with a correctly written address, which should contain
the codes for both primary and secondary mail districts, could look
like this:
MO1 refers to the 1st primary mail district of Morentwyshire,
which equals to the borough of Morentwy, while QS2 designates the 2nd
secondary mail district of the ward of Quayside. WB3 in the sender's address
refers to the 3rd primary district of Willowburyshire and BP1 to the
1st in the town of Bishop.
