Urahara

Urahara Kingdom is an unusual kingdom found within the highly dangerous seas of the Calm Belt. As such, it is almost impossible to travel to and from by normal means, due to the lack of proper sea and air currents to propel ships, and the numerous amounts of sea kings living in the area. However, this proves to be the kingdom's first line of defense, as it is in fact a kingdom run by pirates and not the World Government. Discovered and developed by The Jolly Pirates, Urahara is a homeland and point of refuge for the crew and their respective families and friends. As such, it is also run by The Jolly Pirates and their families and closest of allies.

Unlike Shita, Urahara is not immediately open to all criminals, and is therefore private property to The Jolly Pirates and The Skyline Pirates. It also acts as one of their territories throughout the world. Urahara would later become the home and place of birth for the members of the 2nd Generation Jolly Pirates, who would appear in the fanon story, Shells.

Trivia

 * Urahara's name comes from the Japanese word for contrary, as Wyvern 0m3g4's original intent was to name the kingdom "the Reverse kingdom." This is largely due to the fact that unlike most kingdoms, Urahara is not affiliated with the World Government and is instead operated and ruled over by current and former pirates alike. Also, it is a nation that focuses more on itself and less on the world at large, and seeks to support and provide shelter to all those who choose to call it home and align themselves with the kingdom.
 * Likewise, Urahara's name was inspired by an off-handed comment left by Marcus Junior, who had suggested The-not-really-a-true-kingdom kingdom as a name for the kingdom in the form of a joke. Taking the idea and playing with it, Wyvern became inspired to name the kingdom for its contrary political body.
 * Also, the island itself, Treasure Island, is rather simplistic in name, but is said by Wyvern to carry weight to it. To Wyvern, the name emphasizes that the people and homeland itself is the treasure for those who rule the island, which correlates well with One Piece's themes on what true treasure means (such as Luffy considering his straw hat to be treasure.) The name itself was suggested to Wyvern by Rukiryo, albeit as "Tesoro Island" (tesoro being Italian for treasure.)
