Hello Fellow vEarthlings,
I'm writing this article today so I can send a direct suggestion to Plato. I may not be a RL Icelander but I have visited it and have many relative that liver there.
Reasoning:
-Iceland is a very developed nation that has the largest internet availability in the world. (By Percent of Population)
-The official percent of the population with internet connection is 97.6%, around 301,600 people.
-So if 0.1% of the population plays, around 301 people will be there. (Without the foreign count)
Suggested Regions:
-Reykjavik (Western Region) and Akureyri (Eastern Region).
-Reykjavik would have a fish resource bonus.
-Akureyri would have a cattle.
-Reykjavik would border Newfoundland and Labrador and Nunavut. (Both Canada)
-Akureyri would border Mayo (Ireland), Scotland (UK), Vestlandet (Norway), and Trondelag (Norway).
And doesn't that look pretty damn sexy
😉
Signed!
Sincerely,
James

Vote it up, with all your multies
always nice to see more countries added right?
I think previously the admins always introduced countries based on the number of active players using its associated IP address ranges.
Iceland would become another land-bridge from the Americas to Europe which would be good for the game alright ..
Alum is actually an incredibly common element, but processing it is a very energy costly process.
Icelands virtually free geothermal energy makes it an ideal place to produce Aluminium. So it would make sense for an Icelandic region to have the resource.
It's proximity to the arctic circle where huge crude oil deposits have been discovered mean it should probably have oil too.
Obviously they should also have fish.
Reindeer would find it quite hospitable, so a deer region seems fitting.
So the real question is: how are we going to convince the Devs that grain and rubber trees belong there before we invade? 😁
Wow, you know more then me about their resources. Though, we still need to convine the admins that Iceland is fit to be a erep nation.
I'm all for it. I'd love to see more nations added. It makes the game more fun and diverse. I say add Iceland!

More the merrier right
where can i sign an open letter?
Only two regions? I don't know much about Iceland, but it doesn't seem like a lot lol
The percentage of internet users is not that relevant
a) 90% of 10 people is 9 persons
b) 20% of 100 people is 20 persons
just look what could only one zero make with the percentages... or said in other words b) has 100%+ more than a), even though is with 70% less.
I don't like the idea, just more regions waiting to get conquered just like eSwitzerland for example.
On the map with Iceland!! o7
Dont forget that they are bankrupt (im being a dick)
Its a good idea the only problem is the regions.
Iceland isnt the only country that should appear on erepublik in my opinion
