 I love would to visit Iceland, not only because two of my favorite artists were born there such as Bjork or the side post / Rock Sigur Ros if not for his landscapes are drawn from fantasy stories, as if they lived elves , fairies , gnomes , powerful wizards, etc. . In this dreamscape where 331 000 inhabitants living in an area of 103 000 km ², people know and live in small towns , there are free health and education, it dosen have in army, as well as having a comfortable life financially.

In 2008 , Iceland's financial system collapsed , causing a severe economic contraction and demonstrations carried forward parliamentary elections, in which Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir (the first lesbian president of the world) won the post of first gained prominence ministra.10 parallel known as the Icelandic Revolution , a series protest movements and civic organization that together with the new government , resulted in the indictment of former Prime Minister of Iceland during the crisis, Geir Haarde 11 two referendums to decide on the payment of the foreign debt of domestic banks and process a citizen investigation leading to changes in the Constitution which culminated in a constitutional draft on July 29, 2011 to be discussed at the Parlamento.

In front of the government house a sculpture installed in honor of civil disobedience is a broken rock with a cu, to black and says, "When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties "(Declaration of the Rights of man and Citizen, 1793).

Iceland has a developed and technologically advanced society , whose culture is based on Norse heritage. Most of the population is of Scandinavian origin . The official language is Icelandic , Northern Germanic language that is closely related to Faroese and western Norwegian dialects . The country's cultural heritage includes traditional cuisine , art and medieval writings.
