Icelanders don't have surnames.
The English term "geyser" comes from the name of Iceland's most famous geyser called in Icelandic "Geysir"
Iceland is the worlds oldest democracy. The Icelandic parliament was founded more than a 1000 years ago.
Icelandic tap-water has not been pre-treated before it is distributed.
Iceland has no military of it's own.
Iceland was the first nation to legalise abortion(not completely sure of that one)
Icelanders consume more Coca Cola than any other nation.
(Real) Icelanders eat sour ram scrotums with testicles at least once a year.
