there is only one city in Iceland and it is called Reykjavik. Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland, and its largest population centre. Reykjavík and the nearby towns of Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Mosfellsbær, Garðabær, Seltjarnarnes and Álftanes form the urban Greater Reykjavík Area, which is home to almost two-thirds of the island's population. Other significant population centres include Akureyri, Keflavík(Reykjanesbær), Selfoss, Akranes and Ísafjörður.

The Icelandic Horse is verydifferent from other horses. they are smaller, but very strong for their size. They can carry roughly one-third of their weight. Icelandic horses are known for their special gaits. Apart from walk, trot and canter, Icelandic horses are able to tölt and some can go in skeið (pace). Skeið is a gait where the horse moves both legs of one side at the same time; it is considered a gait for racing, and ridden at the proper speed is called flugskeið, loosely translated as "flying pace". A slow pace, like that used in riding certain Peruvian horse breeds, is considered undesirable in Icelandic horses, and is called lull (piggy pace). Not all horses possess pace.
the most known Icelandic musicians ar Björk Guðmundsdóttir, Sigur Rós(a band) and Bubbi Morthens( aka. the King).
Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band with melodic, ****cal and minimalist elements. The band is known for its ethereal sound and lead singer Jónsi's falsetto.
Bubbi Morthens is one of the most popular singers and songwriters in Iceland. His name of birth is Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens.
Björk Guðmundsdóttir is an Icelandic singer-songwriter, composer, and actress.
She is best known for her expressive range and an interest in many kinds of music, including pop, alternative rock, jazz, ambient music, electronica, folk, and ****cal music. She has won numerous awards, and has received 12 Grammy Award nominations and an Academy Award nomination.
Ok now I think this is enough. In Iceland there is very little to do. maybe check out waterfalls, and hot springs. we have no army besides the Viking Squad. the Viking Squad is like Elite Police. the only cops allowed to carry guns. they are like the U.S. SWAT. they are used for hostage rescue and some other things that are too hard for normal police.
The unit is tasked with several duties, including but not limited to:
- Security of the state and state officials.
- Security of foreign dignitaries.
- Counter-Terrorism (but still there is nothing for terrorists to destroy here)
- Support of local police forces. (which is no need cuz the local cops can screw things by themselves).
yeah.......that is kinda everything. (Gamespot is blocking twords that contain "Cla ss" and "St yle" so that might be a problem
