yes, kind of, founded in 930 ad, but between 1260 to 1880 (or so) the danish ruled here and the parliament (called Althing) was abolished and all decision were made in denmark. around 1880 the parliament was reinstated and part of the governing body moved to back to Iceland. In 1903 we gained full control of the country and finally 1944 independence from Denmark... due to the Nazi occupation. Iceland is probably the only European country to gain something from the WW2... :/
Oh and Mack, I didn't do much, took my brother to a parade and then just stay at home taking it easy... [img]smile.gif[/img]
