While under Westlandic authority, the islands do not constitute a core part of Westlandic territory. The territory consists of a total of 19 islands and islets, however only four islands are permanently inhabited, these are the islands of Jersei, Gernsei, Eldanei, and Sark. The islands cover an area of 194 km2 and have a total population of 143,000 people.

The earliest evidence of human occupation of the Channel Islands has been dated to 250,000 years ago when they were attached to the landmass of continental Europe. The islands became detached by rising sea levels in the Neolithic period. The islands were annexed to the Duchy of Normandy in 933. In 1066, William II of Normandy, invaded and conquered England, becoming William I of England, also known as William the Conqueror.
