Based on the Order of the British Empire, there are 5 levels of award, in order of seniority:

Knight Grand Cross of the British Empire (GBE)
Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE)
Commander of the British Empire (CBE)
Officer of the British Empire (OBE)
Member of the British Empire (MBE)

You can find a large range of winners here: http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/United_Kingdom_Honours_Committee

Everyone on the list have contributed to life in the eUK greatly and the country is better because of them and it is nice to recognise their efforts in this way with a honour.

Famous winners include Dishmcds KBE (former 4 time Prime Minister) and Kumnaa KBE (former Prime Minister) who hold the highest current rank on the honours list. Current PM Artela MBE is also on the list. More recent winners include John Rupert Miranda MBE (ex-MoFA) and Master Hofkens MBE (ex-MoW)


Temujin94: What does it feel like to receive a MBE?

I got mine when I'd consider myself a relative newb. So to be awarded one next to the others on the list, who I considered way more important or generally cool, was quite a shock, and a p massive honour
~ Jan Baykara

It felt like the work in put in over a period for about 7 months as MoD was acknowledged and appreciated, and not a moment too soon! It also gave me something else to put on the end of my name, i'm now ecksohh VC, DSO, MC, MID, MBE, which is more than Woldy, so i must look pretty darn cool right now
~Ecksohh (A closet UKRPer with a title like that)

Feels like the work I've done in some areas has been rewarded in a big way
~Daniel Thorrold


In the next article for the first time the Committee will publish those who have been nominated for a award as well as the CP’s nomination for a Leaving Honour in the month of April. We will also bring you a bit of history about the Committee and also explain how you can win a award or even get onto the Committee itself.


Thanks for reading.

Head of the Honours Committee,
