Unreferenced date May 2007 j ernishyggja is the Iceland ic term for nationalism nationmindedness is a rough translation of the term. Its use was instrumental in the Icelandic movement for independence from Denmark , led by independence hero J n Sigur sson . j ernishyggja is now commonly used for patriotism in Icelandic interchangeable with another word F urlands st , i. e. Love of one s country . There is little difference between the two in Icelandic, and most Icelanders would probably count themselves as being some sort of patriots . Icelandic Nationalism or j ernishyggja or F urlands st is based upon the idea of resurrection of the Icelandic Commonwealth Icelandic Free State , and its values or what was believed to be its values democracy, freedom of the individual, the need for the country to be independent, and respect for the cultural and religious traditions, specially the long preserved language. Icelanders see their current republic to be the reincarnation of the old Free state, and thus is Icelandic Nationalism today based upon preserving what was gained by the independence movement. Thus Icelandic nationalist sentiment, having some aspects of civic nationalism , is highly respectful of democratic parliamentary powers see resurrected Althing and skeptical of foreign control over Iceland, which is partly responsible for the fact there is little will in Iceland for joining the EU .

File Young Icelandic rooster.jpg thumb An Icelandic cockerel File A moslty blue Icelandic cockerel.jpg thumb A blue Icelandic cockerel Icelandic chickens are a breed of chicken from Iceland . Called slenska h nan , Haugh nsni or landn msh nan in the Icelandic language , they are a landrace fowl which are rare outside its native country. They are an old breed of chicken, having been present on the island since introduction by Norsemen Norse settlers in the 9th century. However, despite this isolation, the breed has barely survived in a pure form in the 21st century, largely due to the importation of commercial strains of chickens in the 1950s. The few thousand Icelandic chickens in existence today are the result of conservation efforts in the 1970s a handful of flocks have been exported abroad. Icelandic chickens are not firmly standardized in appearance, and possess a wide range of plumage colours and patterns, skin colouration and Comb anatomy comb types. Some have feather crests. Despite this variance in appearance, Icelandic chickens are uniformly hardy in winter, have white earlobes, and lay white to light brown coloured eggs. They are also said to be docile in temperament, and hens will readily go broody .
