For those requiring clarification on their awards, I present the following extract from the Bretonian Royal College of Arms and Heraldry:

Knighthoods (full title, KBE - Knight of the Order of the Bretonian Empire) are special honours conferred upon certain citizens of Bretonia, in reward for outstanding service to the Nation and Empire of Bretonia in any field of life. These are non-hereditary and grant the title of "Sir" to male citizens and "Dame" to female citizens. They may be granted to citizens of Bretonia, or as honourary titles to special foreign citizens. They are awarded at the personal discretion of the Monarch, often on the advice of the Prime Minister. Historically the Fleet Admiral of the BAF and the Chief Commissioner of the BPA make recommendations to the Monarch for the granting of Knighthoods to members of their respective services in reward for exemplary duty. The Monarch also maintains the right to strip Knights of their Knighthoods should they disgrace themselves.

Lesser honours than the Knighthood (or KBE) are the OBE (Officer of the Order of the Bretonian Empire) and below that the MBE (Member of the Order of the Bretonian Empire). These are awarded in the same way as Knighthoods. It is impossible to hold more than one of these titles at once; upon promotion to a higher honour, the previous honour must be returned (so promotion to a Knighthood cancels any previous MBE or OBE). Unlike Knighthoods these titles do not confer the title of Sir or Dame, but are worn in the form of the three letters after a person's name. Like Knighthoods honorary MBEs and OBEs may be awarded to foreign citizens, and may be revoked by the Monarch.

Those of a military or other uniformed profession may also wish to display the Medal Ribbons, which I present as follows:
