[ATA] Order of Saint Juiulia

Ehrenorder der Heiligen Iwyvl’yi

The Order of Saint Juiulia is the highest civilian award in Juiulia. It is promulgated from a special edict by the Autarch of the First Juiulian Reign to an individual who has provided exceptional service of meritorious degree to the People of Juiulia. The Order may be confirmed and revoked by popular vote in an All-Union Diet.

It can be given to any individual from any nation. Cities, jurisdictions, and even nations whole may receive it. For this matter, there are several categories of this Order, listed hierarchically:

  1. Honorable Order of Saint Juiulia (Ruby)

    • Awarded to individuals who have provided distinctive service to the People of Juiulia or have provided aid in a cause such that is aligned with the values of the nation. It may be promulgated posthumously.

  2. Utmost Order of Saint Juiulia (Black Diamond)

    • Awarded solely to nations which have provided meritorious aid or assistance to the People of Juiulia or are recognized as exponents of Juiulian values. Nations with this decoration are provided a special consular grant to enrich embassy infrastructure.

  3. Order of Saint Juiulia of the First Class (Platinum)

    • This category is handed to jurisdictions within Juiulia which have been protagonists of major historical events, such as battles and disasters, provided those jurisdictions are recognized as beacons of Juiulian sovereignity. This recognition is solely of decorative purpose, and thus does not provide privileges over other jurisdictions, as that would defy the Juiulian value of local autonomy.

  4. Order of Saint Juiulia of the Second Class (Gold)

    • This category is handed to jurisdictions, with the same requisites as the First, but outside the borders of Juiulia.

  5. Order of Saint Juiulia of the Third Class (Silver)

    • This category is given to deceased foreign heroes who are posthumously recognized for their service to the Juiulian People or as exponents of Juiulian values.

Historical Context

Saint Juiulia[ˈjuj.jʊ.li.a] (Juiulii[ˈjuj.jʊ.ˌliː] written in Modern Standard Transliteration, or Iwyvl’yi[ˈjuj.jʊ.ˌliː] written in Classic Standard Script) is the mythological deity who defied Xurlanii’s rule and caused the failure of their plans to free the Gigas (ancient race of Giants), forcing them to put Infortunii to an eternal sleep. If it weren’t for Juiulii’s honorable deed, the Gigas would have gone extinct, all continents would have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and further evolutionary processes powered by the Cancri (ancient race of Crabs) would have been fruitless.

The First Juiulian Reign (it's a Church) stated its willingness to serve as the guardian of Juiulian culture and identity. Nonetheless, the Juiulian State remains secular.
