The Order of the Compass was a Gishabruni order of one degree, established by HIM Tsar Kuri I on the 20th July, 2010. The Order of the Compass was the highest decoration in Tsarist Empire of Gishabrun during its existence. All citizens of micronations recognised by Gishabrun were eligible to receive this award. Gishabruni citizens were also originally eligible, until the amendment of the Peerage Creation Act on May 16, 2011, created a meritocratic peerage system in the Empire. The initials for the Order of the Compass were OGB, because the order was originally to be called the Order of Gishabrun.

The Order of the Compass was disestablished on July 22nd, 2013, with the new constitution of Gishabrun SAR. It was never awarded.
