Environmental issues have been very low but have been on the national agenda since 1984. Environmental controversies include debates on oil and nuclear energy, dealing with air and water pollution, the economic costs of protecting wildlife, logging and deforestation, and international responses to global warming. Many federal and state agencies are involved. The most prominent is the [[Department of Environmental Integrity (Cartadania)|Department of Environmental Integrity]] (DEI or DIA), created by presidential order in 1984. The idea of wilderness has shaped the management of public lands since the 1960s, with the many federal regulations and acts being passed. The Endangered Species Act of 1940 is intended to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats, which are monitored by the Bureau of Game, Wildlife, and Inland Fisheries. | Environmental issues have been very low but have been on the national agenda since 1984.

Cartadania is composed of 31 states and seven territories (Alahuela is considered a territory). The states and territories are the principal administrative units in the country. These are divided into subdivisions of counties (''comarca'') or parishes (''paroquia'' or ''paroisse'') and independent cities (''cidades independentes''). Alahuela is a federated independent city that serves as the capital of Cartadania and is equal in power and status to the states. The states and seven territories (Alahuela, Ciulaga, Lotoa, Providência, Santa Domenica, Santa Elena, and The Solemias) choose the President of the Republic. Each federal entity has presidential electors equal to the number of their Representatives and Senators in Congress, Alahuela has 5. Congressional Districts are reapportioned among the states following each centennial Census of Population. Each state then draws single-member districts to conform with the census apportionment. | |||
The states are further grouped into six informal regions–the Charente, Etracian, Luson, Satheria, Taínea, Turiana Ocidental, and Valeria, mostly associated with historical and cultural ties. The Luson region is the largest by both population and land area, covering {{convert|1,126,318.5|km2|sqmi}} with a population of 188.9 million, while the Valerian region is the smallest by area at {{convert|240,871|km2|sqmi}} and the Etracian region is the least populous, with 8.513 million people. | |||
The governments of the states have exclusive jurisdiction over their rules and regulations (as long as they do not conflict with federal law). Some states utilize a specific set of shared code rules, and consequently, may be associated together. For example, the Commonwealth states–[[Lombardia]], [[Milan]], [[Porta Bianca]], and [[Verona]]–share a basic law framework commonly, but informally, known as the ''Commonwealth Code'' ({{lang-cd|Lei comunidensis}}, and because these states tend to have a policy of zero-tolerance regarding intentional crimes, the "Commonwealth" states are sometimes thought to all be stricter. However, the title "Commonwealth" is one purely of choice that originated during the end of the [[Ano Roxo]], and holds no true political value. | |||
The territories operate in equal weight to the states but lack the degree of autonomy afforded to the states. Territories are semi-autonomous regions with their own charters and codes of law, but do not possess constitutions of their own, and as a result operate at the will of the federal constitution. Therefore, a territory may not codify, with the intent to undermine, any regulation or law brought into force by congress. Even if that law is then devolved to the states, the decisions of Congress will continue to stand (except where struck down or challenged by a federal court). In every other aspect, the governments of the territories are nearly identical to those of the states. | |||
