Prior to Congress passing legislation that heavily regulated environmental impact of corporations in 1895, Milan (along with Verona and Alexandria) suffered from some of the worst environmental issues in the country. Unregulated dumping and poor disposal techniques led to health issues that only festered in the state's very humid and warm climate. In an effort to slow the extent of the environmental destruction, Congress ordered Milan to implement some form of environmental protection within its jurisdiction for the health and safety of its populace and wildlife. While the state originally protested this, fearing corporate backlash and the crippling of its economy, Congress' withdrawal of financial support and fines imposed on Milanese corporations essentially forced the commonwealth's hand. Nonetheless, many corporations have adapted to these regulations and Milan now (as well as Cartadania as a whole) has one of the cleanest environments in the world. Aside from heavy industry areas, the state is consistently ranked in the top five for states by air quality and environmental beauty. | |||
