Milan's history is quite unique in that, unlike the other states of Cartadania, its basis for exist, whether cultural or otherwise, is rooted in its origin as an early port for the Burgoignac in their maritime travels. Though not intended to continue as an entity of its own, the arrival of the southeast Levantines sparked the creation of a creole cultural (hence the nickname ''"Creole Commonwealth"'') region unlike anywhere else in Cartadania. Although Cartadania's complete control of the area did not occur until the early 1710s, Alahuela maintained a hands off approach to much of the northern portion of the commonwealth, where the Charentais culture began developing. | |||
The name Charentais is from the region of Urlazio where this culture developed; the [[Charente]]. The area extends outside of Milan into the states of Aleira and Cambria, south into Acara and easterly slightly into Triessa, although Triessa and San Andreas are typically not included due to their more Latin-dominated cultures. Despite this, Milan has continuously been referred to as the birthplace of the culture. According to historians, the specific dialect arose around the early to mid-18th century from Milan's northern coast and spread southeasterly toward the [[Aurillac River]]. Although it is considered a dialect of Burgoignesc, due to it's standard Latin, Cartadanian, and native influences, it can be difficult for Levantine speakers to understand Charentais. | |||
Though a Caphirian colony and eventual province for a short period, actual Caphirian influence in the region was minimal and the Latin influences seen in other states did not quite permeate Milan as heavily. Nonetheless, Venceia's impact on Milan can still be seen, mostly in the area of cuisine, where Milan's creole cuisine has a lot of pasta-based dishes more akin to border states (i.e., Triessa and San Andreas) and Hispania region. | |||
Among many of the other notable features of Urlazio that Milan lacks is the cultural remnants of Istroyan civilization. Although there is evidence of their presence in Milan, the Istroyan structures known as ''"arxi"'' are not as abundant in Milan. Some historians believe that this may be due to lack of desire by the Istroyans to expand so far westerly, especially across the Aurillac River, in having to deal with other cultures and people groups, while others believe the structures may have been destroyed or dismantled by Latinic and Cartic peoples. | |||
