Entrance Commission

The Entrance Commission was an advisory committee created by order of Dux Falcone in 9 PC. Formed in the light of the Second Calming which swept the island of La Rossa, the commission's goals were a diplomatic approachment to the other, newly-discovered nations of the Attu Archipelago. While ultimately unsuccessful in its goals, the commission's recommendations led to the creation of a variety of institutions necessary for involvement with the wider world. La Rossa would make contact with the archipelago in 41 PC under the reign of Dux Leo Minestrici di Mineria.

Consisting of one hundred and seventeen people from a variety of backgrounds, including bureaucrats, officers, scientists and artists, the appointed commission was tasked with interpreting sights seen in the outside world in order to prepare La Rossa for the eventual day diplomatic relations would be established. Institutions, nations, and traditions noticed among other nations were often mirrored in La Rossa to some capacity, for need of giving a distinguished identity to the nation and to allow it to hold its own in face of the rest of the world. Many names and symbols, now taken for granted, saw their first emergence in the post-Calming period. In fact, the nation itself had no name prior to the Calming, and was only given one through a combined effort of inventing a national identity. National symbolism, such as the redbell, have been revived from ancient tradition of the age of the disunified Rossan city-states, and given prominence in symbols such as the Flag of La Rossa.

Under the Commission's advice, the period saw the creation of the Rossan Armed Forces, as an entity separate from the Rossan police force, in order to enforce the borders of the island's waters from potential threats from the rest of the archipelago. No such conflict occurred in the years after the Calming, in actuality, few ships ever sailed in, or out, of the ports of the island.

While the Commission has never formally been disbanded, the last of its reforms were implemented in 16 PC, and the policy of approachment was considered abandoned across the reign of Ducissa DeGaio, owing to a focus on domestic issues and societal restructuring. Several of the original members have retired or died since. Dux Leo Minestrici di Mineria revived the idea of diplomatic approachment, after years of rising emigration rates among the few rich enough to leave the island, establishing La Rossa's place in the international order.
