An order of Woodlandia is a visible honour awarded by the sovereign state, monarch, dynastic royal house or organization to a person, typically in recognition of individual merit, that often comes with distinctive insignia such as collars, medals, badges, and sashes worn by recipients.

The monarch is regarded as the fount of honour (the right to bestow titles of nobility and orders of chivalry on other persons)—as he or she is the only person who may create new national honours—and acts as the Sovereign of all of the Principality of Woodlandia's orders; he/she, or other members of the Woodlandia Royal Family, will conduct inductions or present medals. In Woodlandia, the monarch is represented by the President Minister, who also carries out investitures and distributes awards in the sovereign's name. As such, the administration of the honours system is carried out by the Woodlandia Heraldic Authority Committee and the President Minister at Wallace Government House, which is a part of the Office of the State department. The President Minister oversees the order of precedence for the wearing of insignia, decorations, and medals.
