Your nation highest honor

[NS Limbaugh Island]

Your highest honor is such cheap that one person has 7 of them? And it is awarded for what? Lifesaving?
If I or almost anyone in Nepal Army was there, I am sure we would have had few hundred in a year.

Depends on the specific criteria. I'm sure there are standards.

It is worth noting that the Medal of Honor has not yet been awarded to anybody.

[Nigrae Insula]

A lot of Fatatatutian soldiers would say that the highest honour they could receive would be the Lifesaving Medal, which is awarded by the Lifeguard Society to anybody who has saved a life. I have three of them in a drawer somewhere. It's hard to look at them without getting emotional because the world might be a very different place if I hadn't happened to be in the right place at the right time. My buddy, Sgt. Elmo Morrison has seven of them. He's the kind of guy you want to have next to you when you're in harm's way.

We have that too, its called the Corona Civica (civic crown), its awarded to soldiers who saved a civilian citizen by slaying an enemy on the spot

But the highes honor is the Corona obsidionalis, It is given only to generals whose actions saved legion from utter destruction or defeat.

[Ghanara]

In Ghanara, the highest honor is the Industrial Paragon award. It is a civilian award presented to the executive of the company that provides more economic activity than any other in Ghanara. Only one can hold this award at a time. Ghanara strives to attain the highest level of industrialism possible, and those that contribute economic growth to the nation are respected above all of the generals and diplomats. In addition to recieving this award, the recipient's business has the government invest a substantial sum of simoleons into it.

Awarded for outstanding combat bravery, or a sizeable contribution to the country's funds.

You get one for each separate incident in which you save lives.

(By the way, saving one person by killing another doesn't count.)

He is an FT nation, so no dice unless you're space-faring. Also, he probably has some defensive mechanisms in place. Most "we have no military" states have something.

Now, let us return at once to the actual purpose of this thread, shall we?
