The first Metzettan kingdom, and the one which would come to dominate all others, was Meseda (메세다), supposedly founded by [[Emperor Yang-jo]] (a direct descendant of the gods) in 2333 BC. Written records from 700 BC attest that the kingdom was certainly well-established by this time. Meseda's capital was located in [[Hanzeong]] as it is today. Meseda is sometimes referred to in later accounts as Meseda-jo (메세다조) to differentiate it from modern-day Metzetta, but it was never known by this name at the time. | The first Metzettan kingdom, and the one which would come to dominate all others, was Meseda (메세다), supposedly founded by [[Emperor Yang-jo]] (a direct descendant of the gods) in 2333 BC.

To the northeast of Meseda-jo lay [[Hyuntoji]] (휸도지, Hyuntoji translates as "Dark Land" or "Mysterious Land" and was the Metzettan name for the territory). Hyuntoji was smaller and less sophisticated than Meseda and was subjugated around 300 BC as Meseda-jo expanded. The territory to the south of Meseda was known as [[Daekang]] (대강, Great Water/River in Metzi) and was prosperous thanks to its ample coastline and greater proportion of arable land than the mountainous Meseda-jo. Daekang controlled several islands off the coast and resisted takeover attempts from the north for generations until falling in 85 BC. Ankae, the former capital of Daekang, is now the second-largest city in Metzetta. Following this acquisition Meseda-jo became known as Metzetta. Over the coming years the new empire would take to the seas and conquer many islands off the coast and laid claim to as many uninhabited islands as it could find. | To the northeast of Meseda-jo lay [[Hyuntoji]] (휸도지, Hyuntoji translates as "Dark Land" or "Mysterious Land" and was the Metzettan name for the territory).

Metzettan cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Ingredients and dishes vary by province. There are many significant regional dishes that have proliferated in different variations across the country in the present day. Metzettan cuisine is largely based on rice, noodles, tofu, vegetables, fish and meats. Traditional Metzettan meals are noted for the number of side dishes, ''banchan'' (반찬), which accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Every meal is accompanied by numerous banchan. Metzetta is unique among Alshari countries in its use of metal chopsticks rather than wooden or bamboo ones. | [[Metzettan Cuisine|Metzettan cuisine]] has evolved through centuries of social and political change.
