The Most Exalted Order of Seville, commonly known as the Order of Seville (Spanish: Orden de Sevilla), is an order of chivalry bestowed by the monarch of the Empire of Pacifico, usually in recognition of a national contribution, for public service, or for personal service to the sovereign. Founded on 26 October 2024 by Diego I, it is currently the only Pacifican order of chivalry. The entire administration of the order lies with the person of the monarch, not with the crown, and thus appointments are at the sovereign's sole discretion. Membership of the order is unlimited and supernumerary.

Motto

NO8DO is the official motto of the Order of Seville, popularly believed to be a rebus signifying the Spanish No me ha dejado, meaning "She Seville has not abandoned me". The phrase, pronounced with synalepha as [no ma ðeˈxaðo] no-madeja-do, is written with an eight in the middle representing the word madeja [maˈðexa] "skein [of wool]". Legend states that the title was given by King Alfonso X, who was resident in the city's Alcázar and supported by the citizens when his son, later Sancho IV of Castile, tried to usurp the throne from him.

Grades

The Emperor being the fons honorum of all the orders and titles of nobility is at the apex of the order as the sovereign.

The order has four grades:

• Knight Commander - K.C.S.
• Commander - C.M.S.
• Companion - C.P.S
• Member - M.S.
