Orders of Calsahara

The Orders of Calsahara are a series of awards (also called "honors") created to recognize exceptional achievements related to the Colony of Calsahara. Originally, only the King of Calsahara had the authority to distribute honors, but after King Montague abdicated in 2014, both the King and the Dictator for Life were authorized as the fonts of honor.

After the Colony of Calsahara became a client state of Westarctica, its Orders of Chivalry were absorbed into the honors system and now Grand Duke Travis is the font of honor for both series of awards.

Current orders of chivalry

The three primary orders of chivalry in the current system were implemented on 20 November 2009 in Calsahara's founding document, the "Calsahara.ppt" which described the orders, their precedence, and the criteria for awarding. The fourth order, the Masters of the Universe, was created shortly thereafter, on 14 December 2009.
