More than a thousand years since, Iceland was settled mostly by citizens from Norway and by Viking colonies coming from the British Isles. Most settlers had Celtic slaves and come married Celtic citizens. As of today, Icelander's resemble the citizens of Ireland, Northern Norway and Northern Scotland. Young Icelander's in larger towns are clad much like to the other citizens who reside in Western countries.

Regarding the Icelander's education, their government requires kids choosing from seven to fifteen years old to go to school except from those who are in sparingly populated parts. kids in rural vicinity ride buses or go to boarding schools. For some remote parts, teachers are the ones wandering from one farm to another and wait for several weeks in the vicinity to teach the kids residing there. After primary and general secondary schools, kids may go in a grammar school for 4 years where they learn 5 foreign languages at the least.

There are only few natural resources that Iceland depends on and about one percent of land can be used for agricultural purposes even though the state's coastal waters is very plentiful in fish. Their sale of fish and other fish products is where Iceland depends. The citizens want cash in order to buy raw materials, fruits, vegetables, appliances and weighty machines from other states.
