Comment on Oh... is that what your corporate security detail is for? Passive resistance?

Iceland became independent largely without violence.
And, um… yeah that’s about it.

It’s a lot easier when you find a land that is actually uninhabited. Anyone who has played Civ knows that it is hard to come by late-game.

Now that you mention it, I have no idea if Iceland was uninhabited when the Dutch or the Vikings or whoever showed up.

It was definitely uninhabited. It was the Vikings who founded it. It’s pretty interesting. The icelandic language has changed so little, they can read the original Beowulf text as easily as they read a bus schedule. It’s a really hard land to survive in. The early settlers had to resort to cannibalism several times.
