Orders, decorations, and medals of Mava

The Sustainable Republic of Mava adopted an independent honours system upon independence in 1970, established through the Law on the Establishment and Regulation of a State System of Honours and Decorations in February 1971. Prior to this, Atitlanese state honours were awarded to colonial officials and a limited number of Maveans.

Since its establishment, the honours system has undergone many changes. Under the presidency of Jaanat Uatsat (1997-2008), the number of orders and decorations was expanded and reorganised in a series of new regulations. The power to create new honours rests with the National Congress of Mava.
