I don't think Iceland has any connections at all to Holland. The country was stttled by Norse with a small number of Scotch and Irish.

It is an independent country.

I guess you're right sorta.

Iceland was granted independance from the Dutch in 1944.

I guess I was thinking about Greenland. They use mostly Dutch law and all that in Iceland. Still, it's not really a strategic place. That doesn't mean it's a bad place. In fact, it's probably a great place to live other than being cold.
