In modern times life for the people of Jinju has improved markedly since the days of early Metzettan settlement, but compared to their mainland counterparts they remain second-class citizens. In 1992 the island was allowed to field its own team in the [[Istroyan Games]] for the first time, and from then Metzetta has slowly permitted the natives greater freedoms, presumably due to the small percentage of the total population of the island they now represent. | In modern times life for the people of Jinju has improved markedly since the days of early Metzettan settlement, but compared to their mainland counterparts they remain second-class citizens.

The [[Government of Metzetta|government]] of [[Metzetta]] directly install the leaders of Jinju. The highest authority on Jinju is the [[General Secretary of Jinju]], who is subordinate to the Emperor. Unlike on mainland Metzetta there are no local elections; all government positions are hand-picked by the Emperor and his inferiors; this is to ensure Metzetta retains control of the natives and avoids the risk of losing the territory. Ethnic Metzettans universally receive government posts in favour of Polynesians; if no suitable locals can be sourced, one will be shipped from [[Audonia]]. Since 2019 the general secretary has been [[Dong Mami]]. | The [[Government of Metzetta|government]] of [[Metzetta]] directly install the leaders of Jinju.

Historically the "natives vs invaders" narrative has dominated Jinju's political landscape, with the local government essentially taking the form of a dictatorship which attempts to drown out the desires of native inhabitants in favour of practices which benefit the central government on the mainland. | Historically the "natives vs invaders" narrative has dominated Jinju's political landscape, with the local government essentially taking the form of a dictatorship which attempts to drown out the desires of native inhabitants in favour of practices which benefit the central government on the mainland. | ||
