List of Cartadanian state symbols

Milan, officially the Commonwealth of Milan (Cartadanian: Comunidade de Milano Charentais: Communauté de Milane), is a state located on the island of Urlazio within Cartadania's Charente region. With 19.4 million residents across a total area of about 92,375.7 square kilometres (35,666.5 sq mi), Milan is the fifth-most populous and twentieth-most extensive, but fourth-most densely populated state in Cartadania. The state capital is the city of Auvergne in central Milan, which is also the most populous city in the state. Greater Auvergne is the most populous urban region in the state, with 7.2 million residents spread amongst nine parishes.

Milan is the only state in Cartadania with a co-official language, that being Charentais, which is a regional variety of Burgoignesc. Most Milanese people are bilingual at minimum and many state signs also appear in Charentais. Milan was the first state to use the term parish instead of county for its first-level divisions and the second state, after Verona, to call itself a commonwealth.

Some Milan urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of Bergendii, Latin, Native Cartadanian, and Istroyan cultures that they are considered to be exceptional even in Cartadania. Before the Cartadanian control of the territory in 1711, areas of the current Commonwealth of Milan had been part of both a Burgoignac colony and for a brief period, a Caphirian one. In 1829, Cartadanian was for a time made the sole language of instruction in Milan schools before a policy of multilingualism was revived in 1904. There has never been an official language in Milan, and the state constitution enumerates "the right of the people to preserve, foster, and promote their respective historic, linguistic, and cultural origins," whether Cartadanian, Charentais, or otherwise.
