The Royal Arms of the Munro-Smith dynasty was adopted as the State Arms of the re-established Principality of Paulovia on 31 July 2005.

The first quarter shows a golden star of unity surmounted by the crown of Paulovia on the sea representing the islands that comprise Paulovia today. The second quarter shows an olive branch with fruit representing Paulovian agrarian origins and peace and prosperity. The third quarter shows the ancient castle of Volturno in Italy, and the town of St.Paulo, original seat of royal government. The fourth quarter shows an Agnus Dei (Paschal Lamb) with St.George flag representing the historic links with the Greek Orthodox Church and the United Kingdom, over the sea representing the historical and lost lands of Paulovia.

The whole is surmounted by a Greek style crown symbolising the royal Anglo-Italo-Greco connections of the Munro-Smith dynasty.
