History
Iceland's extreme geographical isolation made it an irrelevant backwater until the 2000s, where it quickly became a world superpower. Iceland's military surged in troops, and the rise in military led to a conquest of Denmark and then of Germany. The Icelandic military was also employed to great effect in Ireland during the Portuguese War. By 2030, Iceland had grown drastically in territory, as Sigmund Hreiðarsson conquered Canada and parts of the US. However, political instability during the succession of Jebediah Sherman left the Island of Iceland outside the control of the country, causing Iceland to break up into various nations, starting with the loss of control over the puppet governments in Northern Germany, followed by the secession of the Denmark and Norway, and finally the Althing returning to Iceland, leaving the remainder of the country to become North America and the Arctic.
