The Quatrines Islands (Catrinish: Iilene de sidra, Velskish: Paapuurit saaret, Veranish: Babordøyane) are an archipelago in the Hallanic Channel, located 20 kilometres north of the country coast of Cardia. An autonomous county within Kolmalamaa, itself a constituent land of the Republic of Velsken. The islands have a total area of about 176.3 square kilometres with a population of 147,281 inhabitants as of January 2019.
