Metzetta is a monarchy, with democracy only existing at a local level.

===Government===

Metzetta has always existed under the direct rule of the Emperor. Historically the High Priest also held much power within the government but their sway has diminished in recent decades. At the local level, councillors are democratically elected but high-ranking positions are hand-picked by the Emperor. Until Emperor Daeku restructured the military, Metzetta's War Chief was considered one of the highest-ranking officials.

===Foreign Relations===

Metzettan embassies can be found in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis,]] Ninao, Minvras, Cape Town, [[Alstin (City)|Alstin]], [[Kartika]], Rakahanga, Tabish, Nicheng, Jiushi, Vencia, Bayen, Bridhavn, Cathash, [[Alahuela]], Luwenhök, Pukhjabad, Vishnasi, Kurst, Stretton, Lariana, Akwesane, Mesellianum, Albalitor and [[Mirzak]].

The [[Metzettan Won]] is the nation's currency, minted by the Bank of Metzetta. The word "won" means "round" in reference to the shape of the coins, which were originally minted with square holes. Many variations have been produced and coin collecting is a popular hobby. Currently coins are minted in values of ₩1, ₩5, ₩10, ₩50, ₩100 and ₩500, though ₩1 and ₩5 coins are becoming increasingly rare as inflation renders them obsolete. Banknotes are currently minted in denominations of ₩1000, ₩5000, ₩10,000, ₩50,000 and ₩100,000. Coins and banknotes in other denominations have been produced in the past and unusual denominations are sometimes minted for commemorative purposes. Common subjects depicted on coins and banknotes include Emperors, flowers, birds and architecture.

===Agriculture===

With a relatively small amount of arable land for a country of its size, most Metzettan crops are sold domestically, with very little produced for the export market. Metzettan farmers are very proud of the unique cultivars of fruits, vegetables and other plants they maintain, some of which have been the family business for generations. Most homes include a small food garden.

=== Industry===

Printed circuit boards are Metzetta's primary export product, many of which go to [[Pelaxia]].

====Automotive Industry ====

In 2024, 18 million foreign tourists visited Metzetta. With rising tourism prospects, especially from outside of Alshar, the Metzettan government has set a target of attracting 20 million visitors a year by 2030.

===Science & Technology ===

===Imports===

Metzetta imports meat from [[Corumm]] and petroleum, coconut oil and tea from [[Pelaxia]].

Public transport is provided by the Metzettan government.

====Rail====

Metzetta uses the somewhat unusual [[Track gauges around the world|rail gauge]] of 1600mm (5ft 3in), meaning its trains are incompatible with tracks of most other nations of the world, necessitating a change of trains when leaving the country's rail network. This rail gauge is also used by [[Kiravia]]. The slightly wider tracks allow for larger cylinders, useful for pulling trains up the hilly terrain of the countryside. Rail transport and freight is a public enterprise in Metzetta. Several cities offer a [[Rapid transit systems around the world|subway system]] and a vestigial narrow-gauge (3ft 6in gauge) network operates in tandem with the main network. A tram system operates in [[Dengjo]], and elevated light rail can be found in [[Jaegyu]].

====Road====

The Metzettan Highway System mostly runs North-South routes due to the mountain range running down the middle of the country, though there are several East-West crossings including several tunnels. Buses provide local and national public transport links.

====Air====

Metzettair is the government-owned flag-carrier for the country, operating both domestic and international flights. A small number of private airlines have appeared in the past few decades to provide budget vacations. Hanzeong International Airport is the largest airport in the country.

====Sea ====

Metzetta has a strong seafaring tradition given its ample coastline and many island territories.

===Energy ===

Historically Metzetta was a coal-powered nation but this system has been supplanted by nuclear energy, and to a lesser extent, other renewable sources such as wind, geothermal, solar, tidal and hydroelectric power. Nearly 75% of Metzetta's energy is produced in Nuclear power plants, with plans to retire the few remaining coal plants well underway. It is not uncommon for private citizens to generate some of their own electricity through the use of a small wind turbine or bank of solar panels. Energy is not a private industry in Metzetta and all power plants are controlled by Energy For Metzetta, a government agency.

=== Internet & Telecommunications===

===Postal Service===

The [[Imperial Postal Service]] operates in Metzetta under the control of the government. They often issue commemorative stamps and collecting them was once a popular hobby. Metzetta's postal codes are written in the format LLNN-NNNL, where L is a letter and N is a number; for example Hanzeong City Hall's postal code is YG01-355A. The first two digits represent Yang District in Hanzeong; there are over 50 of these two-letter abbreviations.

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.
