Editing Oliver Milton (section)

== Legacy ==
Oliver Milton died in his sleep a week after a major heart surgery in September 1987 while recovering at his townhouse in Iustitia. His health had been in steep decline since the early 1980s and Milton had all but withdrawn from public life around 1984. Milton received a state funeral and was laid to rest in his family cemetery near Troy, Vircetta. In the years following his death, a number of public works and institutions were renamed in memoriam, such as the [[Oliver Milton Iustitia City International Airport|Oliver Milton International Airport]] and the Oliver Milton University.

Milton is remembered as a pragmatic war-time leader, champion of the common man, and dynamic public speaker. Milton regularly ranks among the top Presidents of the Maximusian Republic in surveys, despite substantial damage to his party's image during the scandalous administration of his successor, and is largely responsible for the modern Maximusian federal welfare system. Although many of his reforms were dismantled in the 1990s under conservative leadership, his legacy is visible today in the Public University Charter system, which has burgeoned to 19 institutions.
