Orders, decorations, and medals of North Korea

The system of orders and medals of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is based on the Soviet one, although with some Chinese influence as well. The orders have the form of stylized five pointed stars mounted to the uniform or civilian clothes with the screw, while the medals suspend from metal planks covered with the ribbon, but unlike the Russian pattern, they are not pentagonal
