The Most Honorable Order of the Bluebell is a chivalric order of the Kingdom of Pibocip which is the highest order obtainable to individuals who are not members of the Pibocian Royal Family. It is awarded by the discretion of the Monarch as the fons honorum at the recommendation of the government and the royal family.

Being a chivalric order, the Order of the Bluebell maintains aspects of a confraternal society of individuals working to do good deeds. Therefore, the purpose of the order is two-folded. First, the order is awarded to any citizen or a foreign head of state, head of government, or any individual for their contributions towards the development of the nation, friendship, and/or cooperation. Because of this, the order is secondly conferred for the continuation of charitable works to the kingdom and to the greater world. The motto of the order is Love One Another which refers to the chivalric code of the order that members are to show forth the Kingdom of God in love by building up Pibocip and the rest of the world. Therefore, knights and dames of the order are expected to live a life of love so that the world may see the good that they do and give glory to God. The order is not meant to be militaristic, especially since Pibocip does not have a military, but rather serve as a hospitaller order serving those in need.

Four of the recipients of the order, left to right: Prince Phillip J. Pillin, Citizens Affairs Minister John Farr of West Who, Foreign Minister Mike Farr of West Who, and Crown Prince Phillip of Pibocip at MicroCon 2022.
