Order of Melissa
The Order of Melissa is the highest state award of the Mobian Empire, named after the national plant melissa.
Contents
The Order of Melissa / Order of Melissa is Mobiania's highest state honour. Its name derives from the national plant melissa, not from the Empress's name. It is awarded by Imperial decree for exceptional civil or military service.
The established later visual concept has two classes:
| Class | Badge |
|---|---|
| I | Eight-pointed star; circular inscriptions THE FAMILY AND THE LAW / ORDER OF MELISSA; central crown or fox-head motif |
| II | Medal shaped as one symmetrical melissa leaf, on an orange-yellow moiré ribbon |
The crown and fox head in the central motif are not combined into one crowned head. The star is worn on the wearer's right chest, on the observer's left, beneath the lapel; the medal is worn on a ribbon. The historical wearing description in Decree 068 differs and is retained only as archival wording from its period.
Decree 068 of 28/03/3244 awarded Michael Zoyer, Oswald Foxwood, George Clifford, Adolf Foxwood and Justin Foxford. Decree 082 of 29/12/3245 removes Oswald Foxwood's honour. Separate approval of a new statute and new repeat awards have not been established.
