German cultural expressions and people in Lovia are mostly concentrated in the Cape Donald region of northern Kings and the Train Village Plains region of central Sylvania and East Sylvania. Most Germans within Lovia are descended from immigrants who came and settled in Lovia in the original waves of immigration, though there is also significant recent immigration. The majority of German descended Lovians are Protestant, though there are many Catholic or irreligious Germans as well. Approximately 8,4% of Sylvania residents and 11,3% of Kings residents are at least one half German.
