et it be known by all that on this third day of january of the year two thousand and twenty we have decided to appoint our friend the Lord Frederick Karl Reis, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Pottyland, to the most distinguished rank of Commander of the Order of the Iron Cross, honoring the friendship stablished in two thousand and four, when prior to the Restoration of the Empire our esteemed friend allowed our High Kingdom to develop its first official liaison with a country from outside of our original linguistic hemisphere.

Such exchange has not been forgotten by us, and this commendation today goes as proof of the good faith in which we wish to renew our friendship.
