I pick Iceland for my European country for my assigned blog six. Iceland is described as the Republic of Iceland.People that live in Iceland are called Icelanders. People started to settle in Iceland in 874 AD. Iceland langue is Icelandic. Iceland currency is 1 Islandic Krona (ISK)=100ore. The population is about 320,000 and about half of the population lives in the capital of Reykjavik. Iceland is 39,769 sq mi. Iceland is volcanic active. Iceland is outside of the Atlantic circle.
The life expectancy is 81.3 for women and 76.4 for men in Iceland. Iceland has low taxes and free Market economy. Iceland has been one the the wealthiest countries. I bet you didn't know this but Iceland has there own horse it is called Icelandic horse. Icelands government is a a Representative democracy and parliamentary republic. Iceland is the only NATO member with no army. Most people in Iceland do not have family names so the take their fathers first name and add sdottir for girls and sson for boys. Iceland's region is mostly Christian.
I think Iceland is a cool place. I don't think I would live there is because I would not like to change my name because it looks weird and sound weird. The other reason why is because is cold there and I don't like the cold.
