The Commonwealth is divided into three regions–the ''"Promontoire"'', the ''"Est"'', and the ''"Faible"''. These regions hold more cultural significance than legal as they are not official administrative divisions of the state. Nonetheless, it is not uncommon for state agencies to endorse these regions in official capacities, for example, with the Milan Tourism Board frequently using these regions for promotion purposes. In the most basic of terms, the Promontoire is the most recognizable region of the commonwealth. It is where the largest portion of its population resides, with all of the top ten most populous parishes being located here. It was formed by merger of the former ''"Charente"'' region and earlier Promontoire region into what it is today. | |||

The ''Est'' region is east of the Promontoire (hence the name, which means ''"east"'' in English) and is a mostly suburban in character. It is commonly referred to as Bayou country because the Est is very flat, similar to the Promontoire, but due to lack of large scale urbanization in the area, retains much of its original marshy character. This is partly due to the extremely large basins of the Aurillac and Millau rivers which saturate the state's flat land. Because the eastern part of the state is more forested than the west, it creates some very unique environments, especially for the tropics. | |||
The ''Faible'' region is south of the ''Est'' and is the where the state's only mountains are located, including the highest point in Milan–Mont Pierre, in Trinitè Parish. It is referred to by many from the other regions as the forgotten region and many Milanese from other parts of the state, especially those from Auvergne and Aumiers, will comically feign being oblivious to what the ''Faible'' is. It's name, which means ''"low"'' in English, although incorrectly contextualized, has a few meanings. Primarily, those are that the region is in the state's lower portion. It also refers to the region being more on the rural side, respective to the rest of Milan. Nonetheless, because of it's more laid back attitude and low density, many of Milan's large scale manufacturers are located here (e.g., Hèrmes Automobili, Bellegarde, and Nexus). This is further supported by the [[South Milan Terminals]], which allow these companies to distribute their goods by means other than air, rail, or truck. | |||
