Revision as of 11:44, 6 August 2016
The Germa Kingdom is the world's only seafaring kingdom. It is ruled by the Vinsmoke Family, a royal family hailing from North Blue, and is serviced militarily by the Underworld army, Germa 66. As the territory of the Vinsmoke Family, it is Sanji's home nation.
Currently, the Germa Kingdom is assembling at Whole Cake Island in the New World.[1]
Overview
Geography
The Germa Kingdom is first mentioned by Vinsmoke Reiju, who describes it as "a nation without land".[2] Its "territory" is later shown to be comprised of platforms suspended on top of dozens of ships; these ships usually move independently, depending on the kingdom's activities at the time, but can be interlocked as they come together to the form the kingdom's proper "shape". As a consequence, the size and the bounds of its territory are constantly fluctuating, depending on how many of its ships are assembled at one time.[1]
Landmarks
Royal Castle
The central, and largest, landmark in the kingdom is the Vinsmoke Family's royal castle, around which other fortress-like structures assemble. One of the rooms inside the castle - the one used to accommodate Sanji upon his return to the Kingdom - is a very large and spacious room containing a portrait of Vinsmoke Judge during the Four Nation Coup; it also has a balcony that oversees the Kingdom.[3]
Yonji Castle
One of the kingdom's towers is named "Yonji Castle", and, as the name suggests, it is Vinsmoke Yonji's residence. His fortress was part of his own moving ship [4] and is later assembled at the Germa Kingdom platform, which was seen on the right down corner [5] . He is seen recovering there after his fight with Sanji. The fortress has an infirmary with a device called "The Press Machine".[6]
Citizens
Royal Family
The Germa Kingdom is ruled by the Vinsmoke Family, whose patriarch, Vinsmoke Judge, is the reigning king. Unusually among royal families, the Vinsmokes are also the commanders of their nation's military, Germa 66, leading them directly in combat and other mercenary situations.

History
Past
Some time in the "distant past",[7] the Germa Kingdom was the center of an enormous empire spanning the entire North Blue. It is presently unknown how this empire was lost.
Twenty-one years ago, Sanji and his three brothers were born in the Germa Kingdom, while it was in North Blue. Sanji spent his childhood there up until the age of 8, when he left the kingdom and ended up in East Blue.[8][9]
Four Nation Coup
Jajji in the Four Nation Coup.
Some time in the past, the Vinsmoke Family led Germa 66 in an event known as the Four Nation Coup. While the details of the event are unknown, Judge was photographed standing over four vanquished kings.[10]
Totto Land Arc
Sometime between the Straw Hat Pirates' departure from Dressrosa and the Big Mom Pirates' arrival on Zou, the Vinsmoke and Charlotte families entered into a political alliance.[11] As part of this agreement, a wedding was arranged between the Vinsmoke Family's third son and the Charlotte Family's 35th daughter, to tie the two families' bloodlines. In anticipation of the wedding, the Germa Kingdom is gradually converging in Lake Aprico on Whole Cake Island.[12]
Trivia
- From the design of the Germa Kingdom's flag, the kingdom appears to have a Nordic or Viking influence.
- The Germa Kingdom is simliar to the Lvneel Kingdom in North Blue, fitting as they in the same region.
