	Municipalities of Iceland
		Most municipalities except for the very small ones hire an executive manager who may or may not be a member of the municipal council, these managers are usually referred to as mayors (bæjarstjóri / borgarstjóri) in the mostly urban municipalities but "commune manager" (sveitarstjóri) in the rural or mixed municipalities.
		The role of municipalities was further formalized during the 20th century and by the end of the century there was no longer any distinction made between urban and rural municipalities.
