Iceland

It is the national holiday of Iceland today. Iceland is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean, which was independent since 1918, but which became a republic on this date in 1944. I have never understood the advantages of being a republic, but some humans see advantages in it. Sweden has a king, Japan has an emperor, this is good enough for me. Nevertheless, I congratulate all the humans and dogs from Iceland on this day, regardless of its form of government.
