Iceland's pretty based. They are a Danish colonists, and Denmark has always been wary of foreigners (particularly Germans) intentionally colonizing and subverting their country. Iceland is even more isolated, homogenous, localist, and culturally unified than Denmark is; and has a very "fuck you go away I don't care how tough you think you are, we eat fermented shark" attitude to even European powers. The Icelanders even challenged the Royal Navy and British fishing industry.
They were probably seeing what happened to Germany, Ireland, England, Sweeden, Norway, and Denmark; and were like: "Oh shit. ICELAND STANDS ALONE"

It's actually not bad, granted you follow it with a few drinks, though that's already a given when you're in Iceland.
