The highest honour that The Peoples Republic of Tamba- Tamba can bestow on a foreigner is that of Honorary Citizen.
The honour was introduced by The People's Council in 1984 to mark five years of the Revolution.
Of course, our Leading Citizen, Dick Francis, was not born on the island, but he is excluded from this list as he is directly descended from one of the original 18 citizens.
The current Honorary Citizens are:
Mr. Harry Belafonte (USA)- entertainer & humanitarian worker

Prof. Noam Chomsky (USA)- anarchist
HH The Dalai Lama (Tibet/ India/ Switzerland) - statesman
