Forseti Islands



Flat, no trees, glaciers, glacials, volcanos, geysirs, Vikings with huge battle axes, hard boiled British fishermen and bored NATO troops, yes, that's Iceland for you, right there. Did I forget something? Well, they strand you at their airport in Keflavik for hours if you're American, and their archaic language (which hasn't changed for 900 years) prohibits foreign loan words (including "republic" and "prime minister"). If you want to pretend being the president (or whatever is the Icelandic word for it) of this Odin-forsaken rock, you can actually procure the presidential banner from Amazon!
