Being of non-Icelandic nationality, I was deeply offended by this. I can only guess at the rage genuine Icelanders will feel when they see this thread.
Oh, and number 32 can't be right can it? Is there a Newfoundland in Iceland?
EDIT: Actually I found it pretty funny. Apart from 32 which needs changing to a generic Icelandic area.
