		Iceland remained one of the world's last larger islands uninhabited by humans, until it was first settled by Scandinavian and Celtic immigrants during the late 9th and 10th century.
		Iceland remained independent for over 300 years, and was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark, formally as a Norwegian crown colony until 1814 when the united kingdoms of Denmark and Norway were separated by the treaty of Kiel, and Iceland was kept by Denmark as a dependency.
		Iceland has a Coast Guard (Landhelgisgæslan) and a SWAT team which is called Sérsveitin (Task Force), commonly known as Víkingasveitin (Viking Squad), and is under the command of the Reykjavík chief of police.

		Iceland was first settled by Scandinavians, mainly Norwegians, and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th century.
		Iceland's parliament, Alþingi, was originally founded in 930 and it has operated since then in several different forms except for a 45 year period in the 19th century.
		Today Iceland is split up between 26 Magistrates that are the highest authority over the local police (except in Reykjavík where there is a special office of police commissioner) and carry out administrative functions such as declaring bankruptcy and marrying people outside of the church.
