I don't understand this comment or the earlier ones saying Iceland is "unimportant". It's a modern democracy with a rich history. It's suffered one of the worst financial crashes and recovered more rapidly than the rest of us. It's got crime rates, happiness ratings, longevity and education rates that make other first world countries jealous. Are you saying democracy doesn't scale? Tax doesn't scale? That the lessons of one country are irrelevant to bigger but otherwise comparable countries?
