Unlike Non-state Decorations , state decorations are regulated by the state. Such regulations may specify:

  • Lists of decorations which may be worn on military and civil Uniform

  • The manner in which decorations are to be worn

  • Restrictions on the acceptance of foreign decorations by citizens


State decorations may be divided into Civil Decoration s and Military Decoration s. State decorations normally include one or more of the following components:

  • Broad ribands (i.e. sashes) worn over one shoulder (on which a decoration may be suspended)

  • Stars (or 'plaque') pinned to the lower chest

  • Neck Decorations suspended from narrow ribands around the neck

  • Women's decorations suspended from a bow worn pinned to the upper chest

  • Decorations and medals suspended from ribbons pinned to the upper chest
