}}'''Jinju Island,''' usually referred to simply as '''Jinju,''' is a colonial possession of the Empire of [[Metzetta]] in the [[Ocean of Cathay]] in [[Australis]]. Indigenous peoples arrived on the island at an uncertain point in prehistory; the first Metzettan vessels arrived in 1590. The local populace was decimated by the invaders from [[Alshar]] and became a subject of the [[Emperor of Metzetta|Metzettan Emperor]]. Today the island is an important shipping hub between Metzetta and [[Stenza]], and is a member of the [[Polynesian Pact]] due to ongoing international pressure to improve the living conditions of native Polynesians. | }}'''Jinju Island,''' usually referred to simply as '''Jinju,''' is a colonial possession of the Empire of [[Metzetta]] in the [[Ocean of Cathay]] in [[Australis]].

Jinju is known in Metzi as Jinju-do (진주도) which translates literally as "Pearl Island;" the island itself was considered the ultimate pearl in the [[Imperial Regalia of Metzetta|Emperor's crown]], and pearls from the coast were shipped back to Metzetta in large quantities. | Jinju is known in Metzi as Jinju-do (진주도) which translates literally as "Pearl Island;" the island itself was considered the ultimate pearl in the [[Imperial Regalia of Metzetta|Emperor's crown]], and pearls from the coast were shipped back to Metzetta in large quantities. | ||

The [[Government of Metzetta|government]] of [[Metzetta]] directly install the leaders of Jinju. The highest authority on Jinju is the [[General Secretary of Jinju]], who is subordinate to the Emperor. Unlike on mainland Metzetta there are no local elections; all government positions are hand-picked by the Emperor and his inferiors; this is to ensure Metzetta retains control of the natives and avoids the risk of losing the territory. Ethnic Metzettans universally receive government posts in favour of Polynesians; if no suitable locals can be sourced, one will be shipped from [[Alshar]]. | The [[Government of Metzetta|government]] of [[Metzetta]] directly install the leaders of Jinju.
