Iceland is the western-most part of Europe and it is a small country, similar in size to Kentucky. The population is also relatively low at 317,351 as of 2014. The early population of Iceland consisted mainly of Irish immigrants, though many of them left in the 9th century when Norse immigrants arrived.
