Five states—[[Lombardia]], [[Milan]], [[Porta Bianca]], [[Solemia]], and [[Verona]]—call themselves commonwealths (''comunidade'').

On numerous occasions the Supreme Court has affirmed that the thirty-one individual states and Cartadania as a whole are each sovereign jurisdictions under the Constitution. Due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the federal government, [[Cartadanians]] are [[Citizenship in Cartadania|citizens]] of both the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. States, however, are not sovereign in the Westphalian sense in international law which says that each State has sovereignty over its territory and domestic affairs, to the exclusion of all external powers, on the principle of non-interference in another State's domestic affairs, and that each State (no matter how large or small) is equal in international law. Additionally, the thirty-one states do not possess international legal sovereignty, meaning that they are not recognized by other sovereign states such as, for example, [[Caphiria]] or [[Pelaxia]]. | On numerous occasions the Supreme Court has affirmed that the thirty-one individual states and Cartadania as a whole are each sovereign jurisdictions under the Constitution.
