National and military honours and awards
NATIONAL/PROVINCIAL HONOURS
Recipients of national and provincial orders gain post-nominal letters, and knights of national orders receive the title "Sir" or "Dame".
The Order of Magnar - A personal gift from the monarch and awarded by the monarch without prior consultation. This is usually reserved for members of the royal household and foreign heads of state. Individuals can be appointed Members (MMg), Commanders, (CMg), Knights (KMg), Knights-Commander, (KCMg), or Knights Grand Cross (GCMg). The monarch is the sovereign of this order.
The Holy Order of the Tri-Maple - Officially the Holy Fraternal Knightly Order of the Tri-Maple, this is the second-highest order in Candanadium but practically the highest national award as the Order of Magnar is extremely exclusive, awarded in recognition of exemplary service to the country - mostly to civil servants, diplomats, military personnel, and sometimes to prominent figures in Candanadium. Grades of this order include Members (MTM), Officers (OTM), Companions (CTM), Knights (KTM), Knights Commander (KCTM), Knights Grand Cross (GCTM).
The Order of Candanadium - Membership to this order is appointed by a committee headed by the Minister of Candanadian Heritage. This order is less selective than the Holy Order of the Tri-Maple and is more accessible to members of the general public. Grades of this order include Members (MK), Officers (OK), Companions (CK), and Knights (KK). Ordinary grades of this order cannot be awarded to foreigners but foreigners can be ordained Extradordinary Companions (ECK) or Stranger Knights (SKK).
The Order of the Lady of Caskhomir - This order is of the same grade as the Order of Candanadium, but is awarded to Caskhomir residents in the name of Governor-General of Caskhomir or the King for exemplary service to Caskhomir. Grades of this order include Members (MLC), Officers (OLC), Companions (CLC), and Knights (KLC).
The Order of Belkhomir - Similar to the Order of the Lady of Caskhomir, this is awarded to Belkhomir residents in the name of the Prince of Belkhomir for exemplary service to Belkhomir. Grades of this order include Members (MB), Officers (OB), Commanders (KB), and Knights (RB).
MILITARY HONOURS
The Wilhelmus Cross (Wilhelmuskreuz) - The highest military honour of Candanadium, awarded by the King to any service member of the Candanadium Defence Forces or the Candanadian Reserve Defence Forces for bravery, courage, valour, or embodying the values of the federation in military service. May be awarded posthumously. Recipients gain the post-nominal letters WK and a life pension. Named after King Wilhelmus von Magnare, the Conqueror. This award cannot be taken away for any reason.
The Cross of Maples (Kreuz der Ahornblätter) - Awarded to military service members for exemplary conduct or bravery in the face of the enemy. Recipients gain the post-nominal letters KA.
The Star of Great Kaltachia - Awarded to military service members for outstanding displays of loyalty and personal sacrifice. Recipients gain the post-nominal letters SGK.
Titles
Ambassadors of foreign countries to Candanadium present their credentials to His Majesty the King at the Old Palace in Old Konigstadt, also known as the Palace of Wilhelmus the Conqueror which means that officially, ambassadors are titled "Ambassador of [country] to the Court of Wilhelmus the Conqueror", but it is also appropriate to style them as "Ambassador of [country[ to the Kingdom of Candanadium".
Candanadian ambassadors are known as "Ambassador of His Candanadian Majesty to [country]" or "Royal Candanadian Ambassador to [country]", but can also be known in a less formal context as "Ambassador of the Kingdom of Candanadium to [country]". High Commissioners of the Candanadian Crown are styled as "High Commissioner of His Candanadian Majesty to [location]", and consuls-general and consuls are known as "Consul-General of the Kingdom of Candanadium in [city]" or "Consul of the Kingdom of Candanadium in [city]" respectively.
The King of Candanadium is addressed as "His Majesty, [name], [regnal number] of his name, by the Grace of Eostre and the Gods of Oseania, King of Candanadium and her dependencies", and addressed in speech as "your majesty" or "sire". Alternatively, he is also addressed in Candanadium as simply "His Majesty the King", or "King [name] [regnal number] [house]", such as "King Herman III von Magnar".
