The area of the 65 km² state of Koror includes, in addition to the island of the same name, numerous islands and archipelagos , of which only a few ( Arakabesan (Ngerkebesang) and Malakal (Ngemelachel)) are inhabited. The provincial capital Koror , former capital of Palau, is located in the northwest of Koror Island, in Madalai (Medalaii).
In 2015, around 11,444 people lived in the entire administrative area, the vast majority on the island of Koror.
