Provinces (do) are the highest-level administrative divisions of Metzetta. There are 16 in total, there are also 9 cities which are self-governing and thus not part of any province; the capital of Hanzeong is classified as a special city, while Ankae, Jamsu, Inyang, Hitui, Uchyeo, Hokae, Jaegyu and Dengjo are classified as metropolitan cities. Each province has their own culture and symbols, including flags, cuisine, provincial capital cities and so on. Every province is split into counties (gun) and each county is further divided into prefectures (hyeon).

Gomssi

Gomssi (곰씨) has an area of 9650 square miles and a population of 200,000. It consists entirely of islands in the Metzettan Archipelago, numbering 10 main islands and countless smaller rocks. It has the smallest land area and population of any of Metzetta's provinces. The islands were formerly independent before being conquered by Metzetta. It neighbours Kangssi and Neju. Most islands are their own self-contained counties with control over smaller surrounding rocks and islets, however the largest island, Gyumo-do, is split into two counties on account of its size; these counties are Musuhangun and Yeonggun. The province is named after Metzetta's 22nd Emperor, as is the smallest of the provinces, Gomuido, literally "Gom's Island."
