The History of the ICOTP is a complicated topic, often debated in multiple intellectual circles. However, there are some hard truths about the nation's history, primarily these three: that Yahl Gwaawaas founded the nation around 500 CE, that it is intertwined with [[Jashor]], and that it is also intertwined, intimately so, with the Kiidaawa.

The Imperial Commonwealth of the People (Guuj Xaat Kil Tlagaang), shortened to ICOTP and more commonly known as Haidaland or 'the Haida', is a Semi-Consitutional monarchy located in Northeastern Gwaii. Bordered by Volgorodov and the Salish in the west, the Gwaii Ice Sheet in the north, Haida Bay and Grenham in the east. It has an estimated population of 375 million, which is spread across nearly 1/4 of the continent of Gwaii. The Capital and largest city is Tlat'uu.

Etymology

Guuj Xaat Kil Tlagaang translates to "Imperial People Land" but can also mean "Great People Land" or "Big Haida Land". "Guuj" used to mean "big" but the word "Imperial" and "Great" have been attached to it as well. "Xaat Kil" meant the Haida alone in the past but has changed into meaning "people" along with the word "Xaadas", with "Xaayda" replacing "Xaat Kil" has the demonym of the Haida people. "Tlagaang" has remained relatively unchanged, meaning "land" most of the time, but it has also been used as the word for "Nation" or "State".
