Ribbon bar of the Order of Saint George and Saint Mary

The Most Holy and Sovereign Order of Saint George and Saint Mary is the highest and most senior order of chivalry of the Kingdom of Norton, founded by King Alexander in 2022. Outranked in precedence only by the Royal Nortonian Chain, the Order of Saint George and Saint Mary is dedicated to the image and depictions of Saint George, and the Virgin Mary, Norton and the Royal Family's patron saints respectfully.

Being the highest national order, it is restricted to senior Nortonian royal family members and citizens, alongside foreign royals, officials, statesmen and woman. The order can not be conferred upon more than five individuals per year and can only be conferred on special days of national importance, or at the sovereign's private discretion.

History

Originally, the order was reserved only for senior Nortonian Government officials, such as the President and Prime Minister. However, through constitutional amendment, President Burfield re-structured the order allowing for Nortonian and Foreign statesmen and women to be inducted as members.
