Historically one of Metzetta's favourite diplomatic tools was the arranged marriage between a high-ranking foreigner and a cadet member of the Imperial Family. Modern-day Metzetta also employs the tactic of twinning its cities with those abroad to foster friendly relations. Metzettan Emperors often bestow [[Orders, decorations, and medals of Metzetta|honours]] upon foreign heads of state as a display of friendship. | Historically one of Metzetta's favourite diplomatic tools was the arranged marriage between a high-ranking foreigner and a cadet member of the Imperial Family.

Metzetta boasts several ancient universities and its citizens place a high value on educating themselves and their children. Education is free and compulsory until the age of 16 (homeschooling is also an option). Students may elect to stay on for 2 further years of education, which most do. University education is heavily subsidised for citizens, but remains expensive for foreign students. | Metzetta boasts several ancient universities and its citizens place a high value on educating themselves and their children.

The indigenous account of the origin of the universe in Metzetta is known as [[Chulcheo]], which is explored briefly below. For most of recorded history Chulcheo was regarded as plain fact, and despite all scientific evidence pointing to the contrary, many locals still retain their beliefs in the old gods. Other religions such as Buddhism exist only as a minority, and among the younger generations abandoning religion entirely is becoming the norm. Catholicism is most prominent in [[Ankae]], as missionaries often arrived in the port city and decided to stay there. | The indigenous account of the origin of the universe in Metzetta is known as [[Chulcheo]], which is explored briefly below.
