Milan's history is deeply intertwined with the sea, and this maritime connection has left an indelible mark on the state's cultural identity. As one of the earliest ports for the Burgoignac during their seafaring travels, Milan quickly became a hub of cross-cultural exchange. The arrival of southeast Levantines further sparked the development of a unique creole culture that can be found nowhere else in Cartadania. This cultural melting pot gave rise to the nickname "Creole Commonwealth," which is still used today to describe the region. | Milan's history is deeply intertwined with the sea, and this maritime connection has left an indelible mark on the state's cultural identity.

Despite the fact that Cartadania did not gain complete control of the area until the early 1710s, the federal government took a hands-off approach to much of the northern portion of the commonwealth, where the Charentais culture began to develop. This culture takes its name from the Charente region of [[Urlazio]], where it originated.

This culture takes its name from the Charente region of [[Urlazio]], where it originated. The area extends beyond Milan into other states, such as [[Aleira]] and [[Cascália]], but Milan is considered the birthplace of the Charentais culture. The Charentais dialect arose in the early to mid-18th century from Milan's northern coast and spread southeastward along the [[Aurillac River]]. While it is considered a dialect of [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]], it incorporates standard [[Latin]], [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], and native influences, making it difficult for Burgoignesc speakers to understand. | ||
While Milan was once a Caphirian colony and province, Caphirian influence in the region was limited. However, the impact of Caphiria can still be seen in Milan's cuisine, which features pasta-based dishes more commonly found in the border states, such as Triessa and São Andreas, and the westerly Luson region. | While Milan was once a Caphirian colony and province, Caphirian influence in the region was limited.

The waters that surround Milan, especially those of the Marée Channel and northewestern Urlazian Sea as a whole are relatively shallow compared to the waters of the Odoneru, which is compounded by outflowing silt from the Millau river into the channel.

Eastern Milan's soft soil should make it very dangerous during earthquakes because of liquefaction, primarily due to its proximity to the Cascálian-San Andreas slip zone. In a somewhat ironic fashion, Milan doesn't suffer from earthquakes nearly as strong as Cascália and San Andreas because of bedrock separation between Milan and Aleira, which essentially pacifies the {{wp|P wave|P-}} and {{wp|S wave}}s that move through the crust relative to the earthquake focus. | ||
The southern mountain range, known as the [[Sardou Ridge]], extends into the state very briefly at the bend of the Aurillac river, and is where the highest point of the state–[[Mont Pierre]]–is located. It rises {{convert|1373.1|m|ft}} and is located within [[Trinitè Parish]] at the state line with Aleira. Outside of the Sardou Ridge, Milan is primarily composed of lowlands and has a generally static landscape. | The southern mountain range, known as the [[Sardou Ridge]], extends into the state very briefly at the bend of the Aurillac river, and is where the highest point of the state–[[Mont Pierre]]–is located.
