The Read
Run from Reykjavík, Iceland is a parliamentary republic in Europe. 364k people; that scale shapes the politics.
In Iceland the prime minister governs only as long as parliament lets them. The presidency, if it exists, is usually a referee — not the show.
Iceland's political landscape includes 1 election, 48 political parties, and 2 offices.
