SMALL NATION
i - •
NEW YORK, May 24 (by Associat
ed Press).—Applications by four of
the smallest countries in the world—
Iceland, the Republic of Georgia, and
► Marino and Luxemburg—for admis
^ sion to the League of Nations, which :
are to come before the council of the
league when it convenes shortly in
Rome, Italy, have awakened interest
*in these lands and peoples.
Iceland, which until 1919 belonged
to Denmark, has a population of ap
proximately 70,000 and an area of
85.600 square miles. It was discover- J
ed by Norsemen in the 9th century
and continued as a republic until
1292 when it united with Norway. In
1389 it was taken by Denmark in
whose hands it remained until two
years ago when, in full agreement
with the mother country, under a
principle of self-determination Iceland
proclaimed us independence. icing
Christian of Denmark, honored his
former colony by sending a warship
to salute the Icelandic national flag.
The Danish government in 1913 for
bade the manufacture or sale of in
toxicants and the parliament of Ice
land subsequently enacted a prohibi
tion law making the 19 syssels or par
ishes in the country’s three amts or
provinces forever “dry”. Icelandic
^ women have long had the right to
vote.
.
Reykjavik and Akreyri, the princi
pal villages of Iceland, are on the
coast which is a belt of rich pasture
land. The interior is a vast plateau
2,000 or more feet above sea level
composed largely of sand and lava
desert and practically destitute of
of grass or trees excepting a few
hardy beeches. There are no roads.
For centuries Iceland was the center
of volcanic eruptions, the lava fields
4, covering an area of 4,500 square
miles.
Georgia, formerly ancient Iveria, a
part of Russian Trans-Caucasia,' is
populated by a people who call them
selves Martli and who are known by
the neighboring Persians as Guri.
The seats of government are Tiflis
and Guria. In the third century they
constituted a mighty state which last
ed until 1424 when it was divided in
* to three parts. In 1800 Georgia was
incorporated into the Russian em
pire.
The population of Georgia, at the
time she declared her independence of
Russia, on May 26, 1918, was about
3,000,6100’. Eighty pdfr cent of the
Georgians are farmers. On March
17 last the independence of Georgia
was recognized by Italy. Under the
Turkish peace treaty Batum is to be
come a free port.
San Marino or Sammarino, is not
only one of the smallest but one of
the eldest republics in Europe. It is
enclosed by three Italian provinces
and consists of a craggy mountain
2,240 feet high on which is the town
and some circumjacent terraces with
four or five villages. The population
prior to the war was about 8,000. Sa
Marino furnished an army to the Al
lies. The chief industry is agricul
ture including the rasing of cattle.
The legislature of the republic is
composed of a senate of 60 members
elected for life equally from the ranks
of peasants, citizens and nobles. Two
presidents are chosen by the senate
every six months.
Luxemburg, which lies between
Rhennish Prussia, Belgium and Al
sace-Lorraine, and which was occu
pied by the Germans during the war,
was made a Grand Duchy in 1814 by
the king of the Netherlands. In 1867
it was declared neutral territory by
the Treaty of London. It has belong
ed, however, since 1842 and since the
signing of the Versailles Treaty to
the Zollverein or German Custom’s
Union.
The population of Luxemburg be
fore the war was approximately 200,
000 living in an area of about 1,000
square miles. Walloon French is
spoken in a few villages but the lan
guage of the people is chiefly a Ger
man dialect.
After the armistice in the world
war, the Germans evacuated Luxem
burg, a revolution occurred but was
halted by the Allies. The American
troops passed through the country
and were well received. The Grand
Duchess Marie whose abdication had
been demanded by the mob, fled from
the country and a republic was pro
claimed. This new governement, how
ever, existed only a few hours. The
parliament called for a plebiscite to
decide the future form of government
and the people voted for a restora
tion of the Grand Duchy, electing
as Grand Duchess, the Princess Char
lotte, sister of Marie.
