Iceland

Iceland
Iceland is one of the Nordic island country in the north Atlantic ocean - placed approximately equidistantly between the North America and Scandinavia.The Icelandic government, previously under rule of the Icelandic Independence Party, now runs under the Reformed Pirate Party (RFP) of Kamið Deyðeron as of 2017. The Reformed Pirate Party advocate for some form of direct democracy in which citizens have greater direct control over legislation that effects them; which the party leader, Deyðeron, has led a mandate for. The RFP are also highly in favour of open exchange of information, and are against all forms of censorship.

The Reformed Pirate Party
Upon winning the election in iceland, the RFP's leader Kamið Deyðeron, said:"Iceland is a peaceful nation, a quiet one. Indeed, we harbor an ancient norður jewel - a land with a seemingly mystic and inseparable connection to its ancient people. It is this quality we wish to keep; as, a simple life is a good life. For this, we need to maintain a good relationship between us and our land, and the natural resources it provides - it must be maintained.""After a historic victory, the reformed Pirate Party - under my leadership now has the mandate to make Iceland the intellectually open and transparent nation that we know it should be. The citizens have elected us on a mandate to deliver direct democracy and the elimination of what remains of government censorship. Understand, we are a small nation. This means that for even the biggest towns it is simply more efficient for local authorities to determine what they should do for themselves. We will deliver this.""We are not afraid to call upon our powerful allies - whom we know benefit from our mutual existence, and share a deep, common nature - when needed. Let it not get to the state of dispute between us. We wish only for mutual cooperation.""We have a significant access to fishing grounds, and hydroelectric / geothermal energy (as well as research groups on such matters); our tourist industry is booming. Perhaps we have something that you'd need?"

Military
Iceland is a full member of NATO - and until the RFP's election in 2017 was the smallest member in terms of absolute contribution. The military budget for 2017 onwards has been significantly increased to a total budget of $203,000,000 (increased from only $20,000,000 the previous year).

Along with the new budget, a proposed fleet has been submitted - shortly to be fitted out by the end of 2017. The Icelandic naval fleet and air-force have been revitalised in an effort for surveillance and rapid response. An aero-naval complement has been created for each respectively; the SU-A, SU-N (surveillance units) and the RR-A / RR-N (rapid response units) - respectively

Ground Units
The total ground unit complement was increased from 200 (230 reserve) to 380 (200 reserve).
