Icelandball

"We are number one! HEY!"

- Stefán Karl Stefánsson

 Lazytownball Icelandball also has the most clickbaity name in the inverted norway is number one a Nordic countryball located in the Atlantic ocean. He does not border any other countryballs due to being an island, but is still relatively close to. His clay is divided into 8 regionballs, including his capital located in the southwest, giving him a total area of 103 000 square kilometers, making him the 106th largest countryball in the world. As of 2018, he maintains a population of about 353,070 inhabitants. No, he is not a land of ice, he is a land of geysers.

Due to being a highly Westernized and developed countryball located in Northwest Europe, Iceland has been able to gain membership in NATOball,  Arctic Councilball, and the  Nordic Councilball, as well as the  United Nations like almost every other countryball in the world. Today he is considering to join EUball though, which might upset his close brother  Norwayball

Icelandball is often seen as a generally friendly countryball and does not have many enemies (or friends outside Scandinavia for that matter). But Icelandball has a tendency to spew (or in some cases fart) ash all over Europe, much to other countryballs' annoyance. Icelandball also enjoys its small island nation status. Sometimes it watches Europe's problems from afar, usually with popcorn in hand. It likes to stay alone and has one of the smallest populations in the world.

His national day is June 17th, and his astrological sign is Gemini. Despite not having a huge population, he manages to dub movies from Disney, Warner Bros, Universal and Paramount into the Icelandic language. Its also know to have the world's best politics.

Settlement and Foreign Rule
In the 9th and 10th centuries, Vikingball came here and settled down here. In the year 930 AD, Icelandic Commonwealthball was born. He remained independent for 300 years, but was killed by Denmark-Norwayball. He then became Kingdom of Norwayball's son until 1814. In 1874, he finally gained full autonomy. In 1914, he regained his independence to some extent, but still was in a personal union with Denmarkball.

World War II and Independence
When Denmarkball fell to  Nazi Germanyball, Icelandball was unable to have relations with  Denmarkball, and thus decided to declare himself neutral. However, the UKball was paranoid that  Nazi Germanyball would target Icelandball, as he is an important strategic position in the Atlantic, and "invaded" Icelandball. Since Icelandball had no standing military, Icelandball reluctantly agreed to allow Allied forces to "occupy" him, and UKball posted notices of such "occupation" in broken Icelandic.

UKball then handed control of Icelandball to USAball, who then worked on and laid out much of Icelandball's infrastructure, helping Iceland's later post-war economic boom.

By 1944, Icelandball decided to declare himself an independent republic.

Postwar Era
After WWII, he decided to join NATOball, despite having no standing army, suck and kind countryball already. Due to modernization efforts and the infrastructure boost during WWII, Icelandball developed extremely rapidly, essentially turning from a Middle-Age like country to a fully modern European nation within years. Despite his seemingly excellent economy, in reality, he was in debt and his economy was at risk of falling from even a slight disturbance.

During the Great Recession, he began to consider joining the EUball as well, after seeing how fragile his economy was. To make matters worse, a subglacial volcano named Eyjafjallajökull erupted in 2010, spewing large ash clouds and halting air travel in Northern Europe and America. However, when he began to make a rapid recovery, he dropped the idea. During the great recession, he tried to promote tourism to aid his decimated economy, advertising his landscape and brainwashing attracting large amounts of tourists. Even today, he is still a very popular tourist destination, we are number one.
