Around 35% of Saukhin residents claimed to be from another Tierradorian ~~region~~ or country. The majority of foreign-born residents immigrated from the neighboring Truk Islands, however many people emigrate to the islands from nations such as [[Alstin]], [[Ceylonia]], [[Stenza]], [[Urcea]], [[Almadaria]] and [[Takatta Loa]]. Many illegal migrants use the Saukhin Islands as an entry point to the Tierradorian Woqalate, due to the Saukhin immigration laws not being as strict as the mainland.

In terms of religion, the islands are primarily [[w:Catholicism|Catholic]], however influence from the neighboring Truk Islands also create a large [[Polynesian Sea Muslim diaspora]] throughout the islands. In 2030, 68% of the islands' population self-reported as Catholic, with 16% reporting as Sunni Muslim and 8% as Shia. Five percent reported as irreligious, and the remaining three percent reported as "other".
