More than a thousand years since, Iceland was settled mostly by citizens from Norway and by Viking colonies coming from the British Isles.

There are only few natural resources that Iceland depends on and about one percent of land can be used for agricultural purposes even though the state's coastal waters is very plentiful in fish.
