In Spring 1798, Cartadania's western states of Santiago and | In Spring 1798, Cartadania's western states of Santiago and Victoria were beginning to spread the idea of a better life for the people of Iordas and Carina, which ultimately turned out to be an effort to expand their respective territories. Fueled by the lack of representation in their own capital, and the lack of border control between Vachena and Cartadania, the people, first of Carina, began to intermix with the Victorianos and Santiagans, visiting Cartadania (albeit illegally) and vice-versa. In fact, Victorians actually started their own farms in Vachena, which went against Caroleena and Alahuela's separation agreement. Because the vast majority of then-western Cartadanians could speak Latin with dialects similar to those of eastern Vachena, it was becoming difficult to enforce the rule of the Magna Discordia. | ||
In late summer of the same year, uprisings along the coast of Carina caused the Vachenan military to enter the region which made many Santiagans uneasy. The land along the Trentine River which separated Cartadania from Vachena at the time, was fortified by Vachenan military police, which caused Alahuela to send Marshalls to western Santiago. A minor disagreement between the two groups lead Cartadania's Supreme Court to call into question the validity of the Magna Discordia which would lead to Senate Resolution 16. Heightening tensions along this border caused the Department of the Interior (now the Department of Homeland Security) to send agents to the area to assess the impending fallout, and in March 1799, the first Vachena Crisis insued. Buildup of tensions in the region caused a ripple effect across the country. News of the civil unrest in Carina spread to Iordas and Faraya (now Ferara), and the Vachena Parliament issued an emergency order to military police to end the uprising. Venza Sentinate and Caille Herini, then-governors of Carina and Iordas respectively, petitioned Alahuela for voluntary annexation. Originally, Congress refused, but the Supreme Court, in essence, ordered Congress to comply with the agreement in place with Caroleena and Venceia. Because the Magna Discordia only specified a separation of 100-years, the separation had expired in 1771, thus Senate Resolution 17 was authorized and Cartadania's government de jure annexed not only Iordas and Carina, but also the Southern Territory, of which today is Montecarlo, Siena, and southern Ferara. | In late summer of the same year, uprisings along the coast of Carina caused the Vachenan military to enter the region which made many Santiagans uneasy.

Transportation in Lombardia is overseen by the [[Lombardia Department of Transportation]], a part of the executive branch of the state government. Lombardia's major Interstate Highways are IH-25, IH-30, IH-37, IH-45, IH-86, and IH-90. Lombardia's highway system is immense and contains around {{convert|133443.6|km|mi}} of roadway. It is consistently ranked as one of the best systems in the country, and the state tends to have a brute force approach to maintenance (well maintained due to more money invested into the system relative to other states). Lombardia is quite unique among states in that it isn't uncommon for the state to completely close a highway to decrease construction, maintenance, expansion, or upgrade times. This was seen with Interstate 86 east of Figueroa in 2011, when LDOT shut down traffic flow routinely in {{convert|30|km|mi|adj=on}} segments during the highway's expansion to eight lanes towards the Santiago state line. Though it caused some grief to travelers, it reduced construction time by nearly 2/3 the time needed if a semi-closure method had been used.
