Here is the national emblem of the Federal People's Republic of Pirusavia since 1950.

The design is a mix of traditional heraldry and socialist-style emblem, as the post-WWII government, sometimes known as the "Second Republic", insisted on putting the arms of the country's main ethnic groups to symbolically get closer with the populace. Prior to this, the emblem of the First Republic (1913-1940) simply had the national flag in an escutcheon (shield), surrounded by leaves and wheat ears.

The escutcheon consists of four arms arranged in a quarterly manner, plus one smaller arm placed enté en point at the bottom, all representing five Galeanic ethnic groups that made up the federation. The quartered arms, clockwise from upper left, represents the Mervalians, Puronians, Galennians, and the Paniurese. Wedged between Paniurese and Galennian arms is the arms of Baresians in northern Puronia.

Pirusavia is a federal republic of seven states and one state-level province. However, the arms do not represent the states, but rather the ethnic groups that comprises each of these first-level subdivisions. These states are Upper Mervalia, Mervalia Proper, and Ictrian Island (Mervalian), Littoral Galennia and Meadowland Galennia (Galennian), Paniure (Paniurese), and Puronia (Puronian). The Autonomous Province of Baresio-Puronia (APBP) is a state-level special region in Puronia, mostly inhabited by ethnic Baresians in Pirusavia. The APBP is the country's newest subdivision, established in 1948 to account the large-numbered Baresian minority and as a gift for the Baresians for helping the republican Pirusavian Revolutionary Army during the Pirusavian Revolutionary War (1913-1920).

Meanwhile, each of the arms has been used by their respective ethnic groups since the medieval period. Following are the main interpretations of each symbol:

·The Mervalian arms depicts a drawn bow beneath a gryphon, its tail mimicking an arrow. In Galeanic mythology, gryphons (Mervalian: vozdra) are believed to be the guardians of Galeanic arch-deities. Due to its nature as a symbol of Galeanic identity, this pagan symbolism is still used even though a majority of Mervalians now adhere to Galeanic Eparchial Caulism. The bow and arrow represent defense and survival of the Galeanic people during its subjection by the ancient Lautonian Empire.

·The Puronian arms represents a red avian creature, supposedly a raven or crow, its claws gripping an ouroboros (Puronian: semžygra). This symbol is another depiction of the ancient Galeanic religion, Irsina; the ouroboros represents its eschatology which revolves on reincarnation, while the bird gripping it means the "conquest of life and death". Interestingly enough, this eschatological outlook was later adopted by Galeanic Eparchialism, which makes it unique among other Caulist denominations, but had its philosophy tweaked to mean "breaking the cycle of reincarnation to reach heaven". However, since the Erudite Epoch of the 18th-19th century, the arms' meaning was secularized to mean "the Puronians (and Galeanics) will be here forever as long as we are determined to do so".

·The Galennian arms is not figurative as it depicts a rectangle (due to circles on the points, it might be a stylized Galeanic quincunx) with leather flowers inside and around it. The core of the leather flowers is shaped like a triskelion, which was the ancient Galeanic symbol for the sun.

·The Paniurese arms features a red eagle with its wings displayed and right-hand claws holding a torch. This depiction came from a legend which said that a mythical red eagle helped the outnumbered Paniurese rebels defeat Lautonian legionaries during the 5th century CE Great Galeanic rebellion. The torch symbolizes one's will to illuminate theirs and others' paths, seemingly also a reference to the fact that the Paniurese coast has a lot of lighthouses. In a sense, its addition is a form of canting (heraldic visual pun), because the Paniurese word for "torch" and "lighthouse" is similar (saģrą).

·The Baresian arms depicts the Bridge and Gate of Damorš, which is believed to be the entrance to the residence of Akrusavini, a legendary knight from Baresian mythology who defended his people from Cassimirid Sea invaders. This structure is also present in the national emblem of the neighboring, sovereign Baresian People's Republic/BPR. Over the buildings, there is a horizontal tricolor, which makes up the palette for the Baresian flag (the flag of the BPR is vertical with a 2:1:2 ratio, however) as well as representing Pan-Galeanic colors: red, white, and black.
