I know very little about my compatriots except that they are prone to certain eccentricities like getting into a rowing boat and rowing to Norway after they've had an argument with the wife. Most Icelanders are related, so you can get an app to find out if the girl you are chatting up at the bar is actually your cousin. I wasn't there long enough to have to resort to the use of this.

Iceland also has (or has contributed to) a database attempting to record the genealogy of all Icelanders who have ever lived, the Íslendingabók.
