The Order for the Nation (L'Urderi per la Naziun ([naziun] (
)) in Talossan) is one of the four Orders of Knighthood in the Kingdom of Talossa. Knights or dames admitted to the order are entitled to add the honourific 'UrN' to their name.
The Order for the Nation is the senior order and is the most commonly awarded. The Crown recognises worthy citizens, offering them admission into the order for long and dedicated service to the nation, or for particular acts of valour in the defence of the realm.
The eleven Knights and two Dames of the Order for the Nation, in order of admission, are:
- Sir Josh Macht, UrN (inactive): admitted by King Robert I in recognition of heroic action during the 1982 campaign that resulted in the conquest of Atatürk, when Sir Josh stanched the flow of blood from the royal person at a point on the Atatürk coast known since as Porto Josh.

Remarks by His Majesty King John upon the occasion of the elevations of Dame Litz Cjantscheir and Dame Miestrâ Schivâ:
Membership of the King
His Majesty King John is also a member ex officio of the order (as he is of all orders of knighthood). However, the Order of the Nation was the one order to which the King was admitted (on 30 November 2005 by the Regency of King Louis) prior to his accession to the throne. Despite his ex officio status in the other orders, John has stated, "For what it's worth, I've never considered myself a member of any Order except l'Urðeri per la Naziun."
