"Order of the Oak", registered 1/81 as an order name for "Barony of

I called my dear liege lady in the Middle Kingdom, and nearly gave her
a heart attack. I mentioned that I had received an Oak, and she was
flabbergasted and pleased as punch. There was a few moments of
confusion; it turns out that "Oak" in the Middle is an abbreviation of
"*Silver* Oak, Order of the", registered 7/83 as an order name for
"Kingdom of the Middle" -- roughly an Iris of Merit.
"Order of the Oak". Ask for it by name. Accept no cheap imitations. 8-)
(There's also the Award of the Silver Oak Leaf for the Barony of
Bright Hills, BTW.)
