The flag of La Rossa, colloquially referred to as La Montagna (Ros. for 'The Mountain') is the national flag of the Republic of La Rossa. The flag's adoption in 14 PC followed the Second Calming in 9 PC, signalling the existence of a wider world around the island, designed in a public contest and chosen by the Entrance Commission, formed to guide the nation's diplomatic entrance into the politics of the Attu Archipelago. Although the nation's internal chaos prohibited most of the Commission's goals from being achieved (the nation did not reach out to the world until 41 PC), the newly designed flag became a widely-used and recognizable symbol, regularly being hoisted atop Rossan vessels outside of the nation's waters.
The flag's design consists of three colors - Rossan red, white and dark blue - and follows a 2:3 ratio. A white isosceles triangle, representing Mount Montesuvia towering over the island, reaches to four-fifths of the flag's height, and sits atop a dark blue field. A red flower with five petals, the Rossan redbell, stands centered in the middle, laying over the mountain in the background. Both of the symbols were chosen as unique signifiers of Rossan culture, with time becoming central to the nation's identity. Symbolically, the singular white triangle has also been interpreted to be the image of the Dux, the nation's ruler, joined by their Advisory Council (the five-petal flower), giving representation to all of the nation's six city-provinces.
While flags have not seen much use on the island before the Second Calming, as all the nation's cities stood below a single government, the design has found inspiration in the flags of the Rossan city-states, in common use before the nation's unification, before they faded out of use.
