Orders, decorations, and medals of Montecara

The Montecaran honors system is the city-state's means of formal acknowledgement for meritorious deeds and public service.

Montecara makes, with few exceptions, no distinction between civil and military decorations. Anyone, soldier or civilian, and in many cases citizen or foreigner, may be awarded any honor to which they are entitled.

The highest honor conferred by Montecara is the Order of the Civic Crown (Montecaran: Òrden da coròna çìvica). It is conferred by a vote of the Senate after nomination by the College of State. The recipient must be a distinguished and exemplary citizen of Montecara or, in the case of an award to a foreigner, to have rendered invaluable service to the state and its people.
