What products do iceland make and sell?
Iceland "produces" fish, fish products, aluminium, hydroelectric and geothermal power. Note that although it is still one of the most newly industrialized countries in Europe, Iceland is a highly developed country: Iceland's economy has been diversifying into manufacturing and service industries in the last decade, including software production, biotechnology, and financial services. By 1999, 82.3% of Icelanders had access to a computer. Iceland also had 1,007 mobile phone subscriptions per 1,000 people in 2006, this has really nothing to do with the original question, I'm just explaining that even though it only produces fish, it is a highly modern, egalitarian and wealthy country. =)

Why? ^ That is funny! this man is wrong, it is because Icelandic people believe in trolls that give you things. there are 12 trolls and a mother (Grela).

Norway IS part of the UN.
look : http://www.norway-un.org/About-Us/Ambassador/Staff/
and Norway has very good relations with most countries, and good trading relations with the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Sweden and the USA.
Iceland has never been in a war with another country besides in the Cod Wars (1958-1976) with the United Kingdom, however the Cod Wars weren't a direct conflict in any way. Long story short, Iceland wanted to have an area around itself that only it could fish in, Britain refused and Icelandic fishermen starting cutting fishing lines and nets of the much bigger British fishing ships.
The result of the Cod Wars was that the UK pulled out of Icelandic waters and Iceland expended it's exclusive fishery zone to 200 nautical miles.
Another mention could be the Icelandic Civil War or the Age of Sturlungs (mid 13th century). Iceland had enjoyed an independent commonwealth since it was settled in 874 but recently clans had started to rise in power and rivalries started to form. This escalated into a country wide conflict that ended with the Old Covenant, a covenant that stopped the war but brought Iceland under the crown of Norway.
