Its consists of 16 constituent states, and its capital and largest city is Berlin. It covers an area of 357,580 square kilometers (about 137,847 square miles) and has a largely temperate seasonal climate.

Through most of its history, Disney has portrayed Germany in a negative light, since the United States (the country in which the Walt Disney Studios is located) were in a war with Nazi Germany during 1941–1945, starting with WW2 propaganda shorts and moving to incorporate works in which the atrocities of the Nazis are explored. Even in modern times, most German characters are either villainous (i.e. Helga Sinclair) or otherwise negatively portrayed (i.e. the dung beetles from The Wild). The only true exceptions to this rule are Snow White, due to her debut film being made before World War II, and to a lesser extent, Heimlich (one of the Circus Bugs in A Bug's Life who speaks with a noticeable German accent).
