Ordered from north to south, the main eight Saukhin Islands are Kuapa, Vana Vana, Turpin, Chuli, Auapka, Tapakata, Laui, and Ato'Ato. In addition, the western barrier of the archipelago to the south of Chuli features the smaller three islands of Pazani, Kapio, and Tahua'na, which make up the West Saukhin archipelago. To the south of Ato'Ato features the island of Tapikota, which has a population of about 9,000. Just below Tapakata is the well-known islet of Kopa Lopa, which, along with neighboring [[Urcea|Urcean territory]] [[Rapa Rapa]], is a prominent tourist destination, and is usually the highlight of the archipelago in the eyes of the international community. There are also several smaller islets and atolls throughout the open water area of the archipelago, however these are mostly unnamed, uninhabited, and have no significance besides marine biological research.

Kuapa is the northernmost island of the archipelago. It has a land area of about 500 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest island in the archipelago. It has a population of 140,000, with the bulk of that number being in the island's capital of [[Kuapa City]]. Kuapa is known for being the first island discovered by Qabóri settlers, as it is the island with the closest proximity to the Tierradorian mainland. It was also the first island captured in the Saukhin Conquest in 1832. The island features an abundance of the Kuapa shark.

The regional capital, Oaroa, is situated on the northern coast of the island, and is the most densely populated area in the archipelago.

Ato'Ato is the economic capital of the Saukhin Islands, with 75% of all economic activity occurring within the island. Two of the region's principle cities, Oaroa and Wapihuna, are situated on the north and south ends of the island, respectively. Oaroa is home to the University of the Saukhin Islands, the largest public university in the Saukhin Islands and the fourteenth-largest in Tierrador. Wapihuna is a World Heritage Site, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the archipelago. It is the most extensive island in the region, taking up over half of the archipelago's land area, or about 5,985 square kilometers. Ato'Ato is a major producer of livestock and dairy, being the 11th-largest in the Tierradorian Woqalate.
