Jan Oskar Engene , 24 June 1996 The state flag is derived from the national flag with a swallow-tail fly cut as (7+1+2+1+7):(7+1+2+1+9+12). Smith (1982) designated the use of this flag as -SW/-SW. Now, I know that currently Iceland has a treaty with USA regarding its defence, and that the US Navy performs as an IDF (and uses the US ensign), but possibly there are some kind of military units on land? In any case, this flag was certainly used as war flag and war ensign before the treaty was signed. , 1 February 2002 Iceland has never had any military forces of its own, before or after the treaty with the USA. It does have an armed coast guard, but I believe this is considered a civilian force similar to the police. I therefore believe it is more correct to designate this flag as -S-/-S-.

Geir Haarde, the outgoing prime minister, had already been forced to call new elections for May 9 and announce that he will not contest this poll Photo: AP By David Blair, Diplomatic Editor 7:30AM GMT 27 Jan 2009 The island's administration collapsed after talks on forming a new coalition failed. Geir Haarde, the outgoing prime minister, had already been forced to call new elections for May 9 and announce that he will not contest this poll. The onset of a global recession is damaging governments across Europe, notably in Greece where rioters filled the streets earlier this month. But Iceland's leaders are the first political casualties of Europe's economic travails. The government which Mr Haarde had hoped to lead until the election has now been formally dissolved. His Independence Party, which presently holds 25 of the 63 seats in parliament, was ruling in coalition with the Social Democratic Alliance.
