Metzetta is a country in East Alshar comprising the Metzettan Peninsula and the Metzettan Archipelago to the south.
Metzetta has been inhabited since prehistory, with the earliest pottery fragments dating from around 8000 BC. In the 3rd Century AD the kingdoms of Metzetta were united under an Emperor and imperial court based in Hanzeong, the nation's capital and largest, most populous city. Following The Great War, Metzetta's government arrived at a somewhat unique position wherein the Imperial House was allowed to continue to exist, but many of the Emperor's duties were delegated to an elected position; for which the emperor is eligible to run. In effect, the imperial court became a political party which sometimes controlled the country entirely and sometimes became mostly a ceremonial figurehead, depending on the whims of the voters.
Metzetta is a developed country which faces an aging population problem. The populace benefit from a high-speed train network and globally influential music and film sectors. The official language, Metzi, is written using Hangul.
