冰島共和國

位於大西洋和北極海中間,是歐洲人口密度最小的國家。歷經2008年金融危機,現在的冰島浴火重生。人類發展指數排名全球第4,2021年全球和平指數更是拿下全球第一的寶座。更厲害的是,因為擁有超過200多座火山和600多個溫泉,使冰島擁有源源不絕的地熱和水資源,全國電力幾乎100%來自可再生能源。冰島為北約成員國,俄烏戰爭爆發後,積極與義大利、德國、英國等北約成員加強軍事演習合作。值得一提的是,冰島馬是冰島國內唯一馬種,其獨有的步伐和呆萌的外表是冰島人的驕傲。

Sitting between the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Sea, Iceland is the least populated country in Europe. Although located on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the North Atlantic Drift is responsible for its moderate temperature. When the economic crisis broke out in 2008, its three major banks declared bankruptcy, leaving Icelanders with a total debt about 9 times their GDP, putting the entire country to the verge of bankruptcy. However, after adopting somewhat extreme economic measures, including jailing the responsible bankers, their GDP per capita is now in the top ten globally an Iceland was even ranked 4th in the 2020 World Happiness Report by the United Nations. The event, from near economic disaster to recovery and happiness, is known as the Icelandic miracle. In recent years, Iceland has actively pursued film and tourism development and was the shooting location of the Game of Thrones.
