Iceland
Iceland, officially: Lýðveldið Ísland (The Republic of Iceland) is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, consisting of the island of Iceland and its outlying islets in the North Atlantic Ocean between the rest of Europe and Greenland. Reykjavík is its capital and largest city and the official language is Iceladic. Iceland is officially a Parliamentary democracy. he settlement of Iceland began in 874 when, according to Landnámabók, the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfur Arnarson became the first permanent Norwegian settler on the island. Over the next centuries, people of Nordic and Gaelic origin settled in Iceland. Until the twentieth century, the Icelandic population relied on fisheries and agriculture, and was from 1262 to 1918 a part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies. Icland is a member of the European Economic Area and Iceland is the most developed society in the world, ranked first on the United Nations’ Human Development Index. Icelanders are the second longest-living nation with a life expectancy at birth of 81.8 years. Iceland is one of the most egalitarian countries in the world, according to the calculation provided by the Gini coefficient. The traditional cuisine of Iceland is based around fish, lamb and dairy products. However, the modern Icelandic diet is very diverse, and includes cuisines from all over the world and spices (traditionally lacking) are becoming an ever more important component of the diet. |
