The German Minister for Overseas Territories (Bundesminister für Überseegebiete) head the Cabinet-level office of the same name, established in 1948 as the Minister for Overseas Territories, Possessions, and Colonies. There are currently seven overseas territories, which have varying legal status and different levels of autonomy, although all (except those with no permanent inhabitants) have representation in the Bundestag of Germany, and also the right to vote in elections to the Bundestag. The German overseas states and territories include island territories in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, German Guiana on the South American coast, and several peri-antarctic islands. There are 3,292,000 people living in the German overseas states and territories as of January 2013.
