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. Currently, the kingdom is located at Whole Cake Island in the New World.[1]
Geography
The Germa Kingdom is a floating maritime kingdom which rules over no land. Rather, its "territory" is comprised of pieces of land suspended on top of its dozens of ships. These ships usually move independently, depending on the activities of the kingdom 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]
Citizens
Royal Family
The Germa Kingdom is ruled by the Vinsmoke Family, whose patriarch, Vinsmoke Jajji, 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
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, Jajji was photographed standing over four vanquished kings.[2]
Totland 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.[3] 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 a lake on Whole Cake Island.[4]
