You do realise Iceland has only 300k people, right? It's smaller than the city I am living in. Which makes their achievements during the World Cup and European Championship even more impressive.

There is literally an entire genre of literature about how this "peaceful" society into blood feuds and warlordism, with the so-called private courts pretty much controlled by the strongest clans, never mind the fact that it was built on slavery. Anyone who thinks it was an ideal society does not know what they're talking about. The centralisation of power under the king was a progressive development.

Any sources on Dithmarschen being communist? Looking it up it seems to only be a joke and that its "soviet" was composed of mostly-appointed members, and only rich landowners could vote. Also and most importantly, there was no common ownership of the MoP.

I don't see the part about any shared ownership of the MoP though, just a bunch of feudal history.
