Royal Ibaglian Order

Insignia of a Companion of the Royal Ibaglian Order

The Royal Ibaglian Order is an Ibaglian order of chivalry instituted in 1986 by Queen Elizabeth II. The Order includes five classes in civil and military divisions, in order of seniority:

• Knight or Dame Grand Companion (GCRI)
• Knight or Dame Companion (K/DCRI)
• Companion (CRI)
• Officer (ORI)
• Member (MRI)

History

When it was instituted in 1986, it was meant to eventually replace the Order of the Bath, the Order of St Michael and St George, and the Order of the British Empire in Ibagli. They have not, however, ceased to be awarded yet.

Composition

The Monarch is the Sovereign of the Order and appoints all members of the order (by convention, on the advice of the Government). The Chancellor and Principal Dame Grand Companion of the Order is the Governor-General of Ibagli.

The order is limited to 40 Knights and Dames Grand Companion, 100 Knights and Dames Companion, and 225 Companions. There is no limit on the number of members of the fourth and fifth classes. Appointments are made on the advice of the Government of Ibagli. Foreigners can be admitted to the order as honorary members. Honorary members do not count in the limits of the order. Visiting heads of state are traditionally made honorary Knights Grand Companion of the order.
