While I hate to bring up critically panned Kevin Costner movies, this discussion pretty much points out why myself and my old buddy Rocky were big fans of "The Postman."
Regular (or at least semi-regular) mail service would be extremely important to backing claims of legitimacy for any government for two reasons: 1) That government would need lines of communication across its territory, and 2) the citizenry would be more likely to put their faith in a group that can keep up/restore contact with distant friends and family. A one-shot convention game I played in years ago revolved around CivGov and MilGov groups running mail packets in HumVees.
