The Royal Isles of The Sarian, The Royal Isles or most commonly The Sarian (Spanish: Islas Saria) are an archipelago located in Esportiva. The principal islands are about 300 miles (500 km) east of Contine De Saberrhe. The archipelago, which has an area of 47,000 square miles (122,000 km²), comprises Isle Saria, Isle Regis, Isle Kensingtea, Isle Oakhurst and many other smaller Islands. Each Island contains it's own unicameral legislative body, with the countries national assembly taking responsibility for its defence, finance and foreign affairs. The islands' capital is King William City on Isle Regis and it's largest - and first - city is Chippenham on Isle Saria.

The Sarian was first spotted by Norwegian whaler, Johannes Henrikson, who landed at Johannes Point, on return to Norway, he failed to get the correct funding to proceed with settlement, however the British and Spanish government subsidised. 411 people, comprising of 202 men, 188 women and 21 children, headed by the S.S Chippenham, from which the premier city was named.

The population, estimated at 932,000,000 in 2142, primarily consists of native Royal Islanders, the majority of British descent. Other ethnicities include French, Hispanic, and Scandinavian. The predominant and official language is Sarian English. Other official languages are Spanish, Norwegian, Latvian and Lojish.

The islands lie on the boundary of the subarctic and temperate maritime climate zones with both major islands having mountain ranges reaching to 4,600 feet (1,400 m). The islands are home to large bird populations, although many no longer breed on the main islands because of the effects of introduced species. Major economic activities include fashion, tourism, and sheep farming with an emphasis on high-quality wool exports. Oil exploration, licensed by the Sarian National Governemnt, remains controversial as a result of maritime disputes with environmental groups.
