The Republic of Iceland is short for "Iceland", which is what we hear most often in life. In fact.


Many people think that this is a city or an island belonging to a certain country, but Iceland is actually a country whose capital is Reykjavik.


In 2014, Iceland was ranked in the top 10 in the world on the Human Development Index, and it is the only country in the world without a standing army, with only a coast guard on alert.


But despite this, Iceland ranks fourth in the world in happiness.


Reykjavik is the largest city in Iceland and the city's population accounts for a large part of the country's population.


Iceland, along with Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, is known as the "Nordic Five".


These five countries are not only economically and politically related, but most importantly, their historical backgrounds are also inseparable.


Many people may think that Iceland is just a small country, but it is a small country with a lot of capitalism.


The welfare system of the five Nordic countries includes all Icelandic people, not only health care but also health insurance and higher education benefits.


When it comes to Iceland, many people think of the icy island country, which is not incorrect, but Iceland is known worldwide for its fishing industry.


Iceland's economy was supported by the fishing industry, which accounted for 80% of the country's GDP at the time.


However, the backwardness of fishing production tools at that time led Iceland to become one of the bottom countries in Europe's economy without any surprise.


The good thing about that era is that as long as you are poor enough there are people who rush to give you money to the good people, of which the United States grabbed this opportunity to send money, riding on the shipbuilding industry and the U.S. Marshall Plan funding to let Iceland immediately birds and guns.


The fishing industry has really embarked on a fast track of development.


What do you think of when you think of Iceland, the cold?


The Scandinavian country of Iceland is a particularly northerly country, much colder than China's Mohe.


It's really not easy for creatures to survive here.


Because of the cold in Iceland, many animals cannot survive, but the sheep that do not belong here have overcome the cold and have tenaciously integrated into the area, which makes many people admire Icelandic sheep even more.


We can say that without Icelandic sheep there would be no Icelanders now.


Sheep are not only an animal in the hearts of Icelanders but also a sacred existence.


Icelandic sheep have also influenced the economy of Iceland. In the beginning, when the Vikings came here, Iceland was short of supplies and had nothing, and later, this made the European countries devastated.


In order to restore the economy, the European market needed a lot of wool, which also promoted the development of the Icelandic wool industry, and also promoted the development of Iceland's industry.
