	The '''Republic of La Rossa''', commonly known as '''La Rossa''', is an island nation situated in the western Attu Archipelago. Its six constituent [[city-provinces]] have a total population of 5,900,000 and an area of 189,355 square kilometers. Its largest city is [[Padeno]], standing at 1,800,000 citizens. The nation has no formal capital. The island's territory is marked by its mountainous terrain and long coastline. Its highest peak is [[Mount Montesuvia]], standing at approximately 3300 units above sea level. The country's name hails from the [[redbell]] flowers endemic to the island, which have become one of its most distinct luxury exports since the clearing of the archipelago.

	Largely a devolved federation, the country's six city-provinces possess a significant degree of autonomy in most matters, but elect a single shared leader, or [[Dux]], who wields significant power. The Dux is allowed to serve an unlimited amount of two-year terms, and is accompanied by an [[Advisory Council]] of five members, who provide guidance in decision-making. Although the island's historical records have deemed it to once have been a moderately wealthy nation, the political disruptions and instability of the past decades have made for a chaotic state of affairs in the years after the [[Grand Calming]]. Its currency is the [[argotto]]. The [[Economy of La Rossa\|nation's economy]] has been described as stagnant, with its growth often overshadowed by inflation. 14% of the population is believed to live in poverty. The country's fertility rate stands at 2.4 children per woman. The infant mortality rate lies at 21 in 1000 births. The island's population is largely irreligious, and the small bouts of religiousness on the island usually find themselves centered around immigrant communities, and a small number of converts. Despite an emigrant efflux across the 30s and early 40s PC, the nation's population has once more began rising since the economic stabilization following international contact.

 La Rossa functions as a federal republic of six [[city-provinces]], with power split between each of them. The nation has no formal written constitution, although a long history of ingrained political tradition has largely dictated its political and electoral processes. [[Unification of La Rossa|Unified in 1044 TT]], the nation has organically experienced shifts in its ways of rule over the centuries, with moves towards more centralized power at first, and more egalitarian forms of rule in its later periods. Its current democratic system of universal suffrage traces its origins to the revolution of [[La Denunzia]] and the dictatorial rule of [[Dux Giulio Falcone]], who upon resigning mandated elections be held.

 * The [[Advisory Council]], formed in the year [[106 TT]], serves as a check on the power of the Dux. Composed of five members, each one represents a city-province from which the Dux is not. Despite superficial similarities, the Advisory Council does not take the position of a legislature, as it has no ability to pass laws. However, it is capable of vetoing the decrees of the Dux with a 4-person majority. The Council also does not take the place of a traditional judiciary, as it does not pass judgement on new decrees based on past laws, but with responsibility to constituents. Its members are elected every two years, one month after the Dux.

	The long reign of [[Dux Giorgio Miglio di Padeno]] (ruled 228-199 TT) saw a great amount of technological progress, following the invention of the coal engine in 248 TT~~, during the rule of his predecessor~~. Innovation was swift, as machine labor soon replaced human, only to end up in need of more of it, as need for coal soared. The years following the invention saw an increase in child labor, as well as child mortality. New bodies are still being discovered in the mountains of [[Montesuvia]]. The oared vessels were replaced by coalships, capable of reliably pushing through even the worst of stormy weather at twice the speed of past vessels. 223 TT would see the opening of the first publicly-funded, mandatory schooling system. Children above the age of 8 were required to spend five years in schooling institutions learning about arithmetic, reading, and writing. Although private schooling had existed for centuries prior, the ability to afford private tutors was reserved mostly for the rich merchant class, and for a few years, factory owners. The years in the following decades all led to the rise of literacy rates, as each passing year saw one generation of old be replaced by literate youth.

The years in the following decades all led to the rise of literacy rates, as each passing year saw one generation of old be replaced by literate youth.

	The rise in literacy rates served to increase productivity as much as it led to rise of popular ideas. Due to the state monopoly on the printing press, however, their dissemination remained an impassable obstacle. Dissent, however, slowly but surely rose, pushed over the tipping point after the [[Piazza Rossa Massacre]] in 106 TT, a clash between protesters and armed forces which led to the deaths of 34 protesting students in [[Padeno]], as well as 6 soldiers. The ensuing [[Spirit Revolution]], as it would later become known, saw groups of radicals across the island violently seize control of several printing presses across the city-provinces. Over the course of the next several days, thousands of copies of the groups' manifesto, ''[[La Libertà]]'', were printed. The text, 20 pages long, heavily criticized the archaic system of aristocratic rule across the island, and called for the violent overthrow of its rulers by the masses, in favor of what it called "true democratic rule". Although the participants in the uprising were all arrested or shot as the army broke through their defenses, they were never able to trace down every paper copy.

	Violent demonstrations only rose in the following months, as issues integrated into the movement compounded. Besides calls for democracy and liberty, more popular still became calls for just wages and working hours. Under much public pressure, [[Dux Edmondo Giannone di Salino]] (ruled 110-106 TT) resigned mere weeks after his re-election. In his place, his nephew, [[Dux Michelangelo Giannone di Salino]] (ruled 106-92 TT), a modest sympathizer to some of the movement's popular ideas, took it upon himself to quell public discontent. A wave of democratization followed in the ensuing months, and suffrage was extended to all men possessing property, or the ability to pay the poll tax. This reform effectively extended the right to vote to about a third of the population. An [[Advisory Council]], made up of five members, one from each of the city-provinces, excluding the one from which the Dux hails, was formed, capable of halting the Dux's actions with a 4/5ths vote.
