The Gallambrian Honours System is means of rewarding personal or collective bravery, achievement, or service to Gallambria. The systems consists of four types of awards:

• Honours - Which are used to recognise merit terms of achievement and service;
• Decorations - Which are used to recognise specific deeds;
• Medals - Which are used to recognise bravery, long and/or valuable service, operational and special service, and/or good conduct; and
• Citation - Which are used by high authorities to formally recognise a military unit's specific and outstanding performance.

Appointments to the various orders and awards of other honours are published in the The Gazette.

Order of Wear

See also: Gallambrian Honours Order of Wearing

Honours, decorations and medals are arranged in the "Order of Wear", an official list which describes the order in which they should be worn. Updates to the Order of Wear are published in the The Gazette when necessary. The current Order of Wear was published on 1 June 2020.

The list places the George Cross and Edward Cross at the top, followed by the orders of knighthood arranged in order of date of creation. Below the Knights of the Lion and Taniwha, individuals of a higher rank precede those of a lower rank. For instance, a Knight Grand Cross of any order precedes any Knight Commander. For those of equal rank, members of the higher-ranked Order take precedence.

Not all orders have the same number of ranks. The Order of Merit, Order of the Companions of Honour, Distinguished Service Order and the King's Service Order are slightly different, being single-rank honours, and have been placed at appropriate positions of seniority. The precedence of Knight Bachelor is below the knights of the different orders and above those with the rank of Commander or lower.

Decorations are followed by medals of various categories, being arranged in date order within each section. These are followed by International and Foreign awards of any level.
