Orders, decorations, and medals of Delvera

The Orders, decorations, and medals of Delvera comprised a complex system by which Delverans were honoured by the country's head of government for actions or deeds that benefit their community or the nation at large. A combination of its Canadian and American counterparts, the structure originated in 2016 and was integrated to the Karno-Ruthenian system of honors in 2022.

Refusal or forfeiture[edit | edit source]

A small number of people refuse the offer of an award, usually for personal reasons. Conversely, honours are sometimes removed (forfeited), for example if a recipient is subsequently convicted of a serious criminal offence. Sometimes the original decision to grant an honour was made on the basis of inaccurate information, but normally cases relate to actions that took place after the award was made. Recommendations are made to the Consul, who has the sole authority to rescind an honour.
