Difference between revisions of "Illustrious Antarctic Order of the Orca"

The first category of supernumerary members of the Order, Royal Knights and Dames, are not included in the 14 regular members. Although the Grand Duke is the Sovereign of the Order, making him a member ''ex officio'', he still falls into this category. Royal Dames and Knights may include the [[Royal Family of Westarctica|Royal Family]]; the Sovereign's Consort, as well as any adult issue, including those named as such who no longer meet those specific qualifications. There is no limit to the number of Royal Knights and Dames, but effort is made to keep this number reasonably small.

The reverse of the medallion bears the words "GRAND DUCHY OF WESTARCTICA" the Roman numeralization of the year the order was established (MMXIX), and the membership number of the awardee, in Arabic numerals (i.e. ''01''). Although they are bestowed a membership number, just as a regular Knight or Dame, supernumerary members are denoted by a letter; ''-R'' for Royal and ''-S'' for Stranger.
