What is Iceland known for being the oldest the lowest or the youngest country in the world?

Using the most likely definitions of those words, Iceland is none of those things, as China, for example, is older, Kiribati, for example, is lower, and Montenegro, for example, is younger. Using other interpretations of the meanings of oldest, youngest, and lowest, it is possible that Iceland is the youngest country in the world in the sense that the landmass that the country occupies is geologically younger that any other, having formed volcanically more recently than any other landmass constituting an entire country. Using age of population, it is not the youngest or oldest, as the youngest populations are in Africa, and a number of European countries have older populations. Ultimately, perhaps what you are thinking of is the fact that Iceland has the oldest parliament in the world, the "Althing", founded in 930AD, and may be (loosely or arguably) called the oldest democracy in the world (still extant).
