Parliamentary democracy.
>Niels Ryberg Finsen (15 December 1860 – 24 September 1904) was a Faroese physician and scientist of Icelandic descent. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1903 "in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation, whereby he has opened a new avenue for medical science."
Superior Mediterraneans did that
>The first parliaments date back to Europe in the Middle Ages, specifically in 1188 Alfonso IX, King of Leon (Spain) convened the three states in the Cortes of León.
>1180
Try 980
>The Alþingi (parliament (Icelandic) and anglicised as Althingi or Althing) is the national parliament of Iceland. It is the oldest parliament in the world.[1][2] The Althing was founded in 930
They didn't do anything good but at least they didn't do anything bad, unlike America
They are neutral
So even Faroe Islands contributed more. Amazing.
>Of Icelandic descent
By that logic Europeans can take credit for all American and Australian inventions
>His father born in Iceland
>Mother from Faroe island
>Born in Faroe
>Died in Denmark
Why doesn't Denmark just absorb these countries?

How does that make you feel?
Wrong, they're heavily mixed.
since when?
please, the only people better than us music wise is the U.K
Only 70% Norse ancestry. The British occupation certainly didn't help given their slutty women.
No we can't
Elak :(
>Genetic evidence suggests that approximately 62% of the Icelandic maternal gene pool is derived from Ireland and Scotland, which is much higher than other Scandinavian countries, although comparable to the Faroese, while 37% is of Nordic origin.
Le 37% face
hardfisk, which I personally enjoy quite a lot.
For comparison, here are Bangladeshi contributions (not rotten fish and shitty musicians):

Snorre Sturlasson, the greatest medieval norse writer, wrote "Kongsspeilet" - a work detailing the lives of Norwegian kings in the 12th and 13th centuries. Sturlasson was Icelandic.
Without Kongsspeilet we would have a harder time rebuilding our nation in the 1800s than we did...
Norway owes Iceland alot.
LMAO viking meme btfo, even eastern England has higher rates of norse genes
Fucking this. The other nordics have no idea just how important medieval Icelandic literature was for Norway, but it's not their fault really.
This.
I think Iceland's geography is beautiful and it's one of those places I'd like to visit for at least a month. Too bad their economy depends on tourism and everything is expensive as fuck, plus in the recent years it's become more popular to go there.
>They didn't do anything good

>selflessly sacrificed 50% of its population by making volcanic shamans cause Laki to erupt, thus kickstarting the French Revolution by taking a big volcanic crap over almost all of Europe

I like Iceland.
I want to make sure I've thanked you. Old Snorri's works, most particularily Kongsspeilet, did invaluable things for Norway when we rebuilt ourselves in the 1800s. Seriously, you're valuable unlike what OP thinks
eve online i guess
Love
They invented my name I think and that's the reason my asshole boomer dad gave it to me cause he likes Norse sagas
weird family names. don't they do the whole anonsdottir shenanigans?

All Scandi countries used to have that
Having a parliament doesn't make your regime democratic. Parliamentaries aren't necessarily democratically elected.
We also used some of your works like Gamli Sáttmáli
Jón Forseti in particular used the aforementioned multiple times as an arguments in his battle for the independence of Iceland, so we're even
and why did you change that? seems pretty cool, and you should hang onto your culture. although i heard you can't even protect your most prestigious royal crown
Gamli Sáttmáli was the agreement between the Norwegian king and the Icelandic chieftains for when Iceland became part of Norway in ~1260, right? Am I remembering correctly? Rusty as hell
i've been playing crusader kings 2 recently. i started out as a chief in iceland and now i control most of scandinavia. now i need to conquer denmark in a great holy war so i can become the Emperor of Scandinavia
>nd why did you change that?
Our countries grew larger and new family names emerged. It has nothing to do with changing our culture, it's simply the difference between Johnson and Buckingsworth or whatever. Examples in Nordic would be Eriksson vs Bergsholm, Asklund, Sköldberg, etc. The most common last name in Sweden is still Andersson, in Norway it's also a -sen ending name.
>most prestigeous royal crown
Do you mean the strängnäs jewels that were stolen? They aren't our crown jewels. They belonged to some member of the royal family like 400 years ago, but I get the point. Although in our defense I would say that protecting the royal family from marrying a ghetto American woman is more important than protecting the jewels of a minor princess who's long dead and buried :^)
>although i heard you can't even protect your most prestigious royal crown
>and why did you change that?
Because when 50000 guys have the same name(E.g Olaf Olafsson) you need to start writing their occupations in the telephone book next to their name and even that won't help because some of them will even have the same job.
Yeah
When Denmark abolished its absolute monarchy somewhere in the mid 19th century, Jón saw it as an opportunity to begin the battle for Iceland's independence
He claimed that after the abolition of the absolute monarchy Iceland had become an independent nation like it was before Gamli Sáttmáli was put in place
pls no bully

>Although in our defense I would say that protecting the royal family from marrying a ghetto American woman is more important than protecting the jewels of a minor princess who's long dead and buried
probably true. it's the only exception where the public should approve of intolerance, he should marry a princess of someone from a royal family from europe, hell, if he married some princess from africa it would've been less bad than an american.
i thought you guys were more crazy about your crown, like we kind of are with the royal crown. or the way the hungarians are absolutely mad about their byzantine-roman crown
Alright. Smart man!
Glad it worked out for you in the end.
>i thought you guys were more crazy about your crown
Well, we are. It become a massive scandal when they were stolen. The thugs pulled it off quite smoothly, by boat. The man who arranged it all was arrested last week, they finally found him. He was Swedish by the way, most people seemed to think he wouldn't be. The people who he hired to steal were probably immigrants though.
ekuriren.se
Yeah
Too bad the Eternal D*Ne ignored the pleas of the righteous THVLEAN people and forced us to use underhanded tactics to obtain independence
>He was Swedish by the way, most people seemed to think he wouldn't be
that's even worse! further proof of swedish cuckery
Maybe he was just an anti-royalist or something lol
people say nationalism is just racism and all that, but even the biggest criminal degenerate neo-nazi wouldn't steal his country's royal crown or any other key artefacts
Like half of our nationalists don't even support the current royal family due to them wanting the old line of Vasa back
>even the biggest criminal degenerate neo-nazi wouldn't steal his country's royal crown or any other key artefacts
No, they just steal the art and crowns of other countries instead.
>León
Not mediterranean.
>Las cortes
Not democratic.

no, the faroese is.
Nordic people
no bulli
they're great people and worthy only of love
Also, they are typically referred to as 'Americanized' post-Danish Kingdom, you shouldn't insult your friends like this.
Based. Icelandics contributed absolutely nothing that they have to steal a smaller island's accomplishments. Sad.
