Here is some stuff I found about Iceland. It's really interesting to learn about different countries and cultures.

*LOL* I checked out this page. I found few errors in it....
First of all, they don't seem to get the name of our Prime Minister. At one place they call him Halldor Grimsson (like our president, Grímsson), one place they call him Halldor Asgrimmson...
His name is Halldór Ásgrímsson
One thing I remember.
We don't have military in Iceland, but the US army has a base in Keflavík (about 30 min drive from the city).
We once had a war against the British, the Cod war. They wanted to take our fish. Many men were killed then, and it was a great loss for the small fishing villages (like my hometown).
But unfortunately I don't know any figures or many facts about this war.. I need to gather some information.
