Inyang is the fourth-largest city in Metzetta, with a population of 2.7 million and an area of 380 square miles. It is one of Metzetta's Metropolitan Cities, meaning it is self-governing rather than being part of a province. Inyang is part of the Hanzeong metropolis, having been merged into by the sprawling capital, however it is still administered separately and has a distinct identity, even if the boundaries between the two cities have become increasingly blurred over time.

Etymology

"In" means "perfect virtue" in Metzi, while Yang refers to Metzetta's first Emperor. Yang-jo is considered a borderline religious figure in Metzetta and so naming a major city with reference to his perfection is not out of character for the Metzettans.
