Talossan Statute 25RZ77

(T) he Ziu creates the Senatorial Medal of Honour, to be awarded by the Senate for meritorious or honourable service to State or Nation. This award, awarded only and solely by a resolution in the Senate given the Royal Assent, will be the highest honour bestowed by the Talossan legislature. This award has a single class, and recipients may, in official RT affairs, affix the initials "S.H." (Senatorial Honour) after his/her name.

I would like to open a discussion of what criteria should be used to determine if an individual is eligible for this Award.

After that, I would ask that a list of Candidates be presented that we can discuss the merits of their service to the Kingdom that would qualify them for this Medal.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.

It seems to me that it would be analogous to the Presidential Medal of Freedom or the Congressional Gold Medal, respectively:
One who has made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors," and
Persons "who have performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement."
