After a <a href="/wiki/Age_of_the_Sturlungs" title="Age of the Sturlungs">period of civil strife</a>, Iceland acceded to Norwegian rule in the 13th century. In 1397, Iceland followed Norway's integration into the <a href="/wiki/Kalmar_Union" title="Kalmar Union">Kalmar Union</a> along with the kingdoms of Denmark and Sweden, coming under de facto <a href="/wiki/Danes" title="Danes">Danish</a> rule upon its dissolution in 1523.

Although the Althing was suspended from 1799 to 1845, Iceland nevertheless has a claim to sustaining one of the world's longest-running parliaments.

Generally speaking, the south coast is warmer, wetter, and windier than the north. The Central Highlands are the coldest part of the country. Low-lying inland areas in the north are the aridest. Snowfall in winter is more common in the north than in the south. The highest air temperature recorded was 30.5 °C (86.9 °F) on 22 June 1939 at Teigarhorn on the southeastern coast. The lowest was −38 °C (−36.4 °F) on 22 January 1918 at Grímsstaðir and Möðrudalur in the northeastern hinterland.

The modern parliament, Alþingi (English: <a href="/wiki/Althing" title="Althing">Althing</a>), was founded in 1845 as an advisory body to the Danish monarch. It was widely seen as a re-establishment of the assembly founded in 930 in the <a href="/wiki/Icelandic_Commonwealth" title="Icelandic Commonwealth">Commonwealth</a> period and temporarily suspended from 1799 to 1845. Consequently, "it is arguably the world's oldest <a href="/wiki/Parliamentary_system" title="Parliamentary system">parliamentary democracy</a>."<a href="#cite_note-112">[108]</a> It has 63 members, elected for a maximum period of four years.<a href="#cite_note-113">[109]</a> The head of government is the prime minister who, together with the <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_of_Iceland" title="Cabinet of Iceland">cabinet</a>, is responsible for <a href="/wiki/Executive_(government)" title="Executive (government)">executive</a> government.

The elections for the president, the Althing, and local municipal councils are all held separately every four years.<a href="#cite_note-116">[112]</a> The cabinet in the country's government is typically appointed by the president after a general election to the Althing. However, the appointment is usually negotiated by the leaders of the political parties, who decide amongst themselves which parties can form the cabinet and how to distribute its seats, as long as it has majority support in the Althing. If the party leaders are unable to come to an agreement within a reasonable period of time, the president will personally appoint the cabinet. This has not happened since the republic was founded in 1944, although in 1942 the regent, <a href="/wiki/Sveinn_Bj%C3%B6rnsson" title="Sveinn Björnsson">Sveinn Björnsson</a>, appointed a non-parliamentary government. Sveinn held the practical position of a president at the time, and later became the country's first official president in 1944. The governments of Iceland have always been coalition governments, with two or more parties involved, as no single political party has ever received a majority of seats in the Althing throughout the republican period. There is no legal consensus on the extent of the political power possessed by the office of the president; several provisions of the constitution appear to give the president some important powers, but other provisions and traditions suggest differently.<a href="#cite_note-117">[113]</a> In 1980, Icelanders elected <a href="/wiki/Vigd%C3%ADs_Finnbogad%C3%B3ttir" title="Vigdís Finnbogadóttir">Vigdís Finnbogadóttir</a> as president, the world's first directly elected female head of state.

Nursery school, or leikskóli, is non-compulsory education for children younger than six years and is the first step in the education system.

The minimum number of school days was once 170, but after a new teachers' wage contract, it increased to 180. Lessons take place five days a week.

Traditional Icelandic music is strongly religious. Hymns, both religious and secular, are a particularly well-developed form of music, due to the scarcity of musical instruments throughout much of Iceland's history. Hallgrímur Pétursson wrote many Protestant hymns in the 17th century. Icelandic music was modernised in the 19th century when Magnús Stephensen brought pipe organs, which were followed by <a href="/wiki/Pump_organ" title="Pump organ">harmoniums</a>. Other vital traditions of Icelandic music are epic alliterative and rhyming ballads called rímur. Rímur are epic tales, usually <a href="/wiki/A_cappella" title="A cappella">a cappella</a>, which can be traced back to <a href="/wiki/Skald" title="Skald">skaldic</a> poetry, using complex metaphors and elaborate rhyme schemes.<a href="#cite_note-264">[260]</a> The best-known rímur poet of the 19th century was <a href="/wiki/Sigur%C3%B0ur_Brei%C3%B0fj%C3%B6r%C3%B0" title="Sigurður Breiðfjörð">Sigurður Breiðfjörð</a> (1798–1846).

It is often prepared in a wide variety of ways, either smoked, pickled, boiled, or dried. Lamb is by far the most common meat, and it tends to be either smoke-cured (known as <a href="/wiki/Hangikj%C3%B6t" title="Hangikjöt">hangikjöt</a>) or salt-preserved (saltkjöt). Many older dishes make use of every part of the sheep, such as <a href="/wiki/Sl%C3%A1tur" title="Slátur">slátur</a>, which consists of <a href="/wiki/Offal" title="Offal">offal</a> (internal organs and entrails) minced together with blood and served in sheep stomach. Additionally, boiled or mashed potatoes, pickled cabbage, green beans, and rye bread are prevalent side dishes.<a href="#cite_note-286">[282]</a><a href="#cite_note-287">[283]</a> Coffee is a popular beverage in Iceland, with the country being third placed by per capita consumption worldwide in 2016,<a href="#cite_note-288">[284]</a> and is drunk at breakfast, after meals, and with a light snack in mid-afternoon. <a href="/wiki/Coca-Cola" title="Coca-Cola">Coca-Cola</a> is also widely consumed, to the extent that the country is said to have one of the highest per capita consumption rates in the world.<a href="#cite_note-289">[285]</a> Iceland's signature alcoholic beverage is <a href="/wiki/Brenniv%C3%ADn" title="Brennivín">brennivín</a> (literally "burnt [i.e., distilled] wine"), which is similar in flavouring to the <a href="/wiki/Akvavit" title="Akvavit">akvavit</a> variant of Scandinavian <a href="/wiki/Br%C3%A4nnvin" title="Brännvin">brännvin</a>.

Martin Miller blends Icelandic water with its England-distilled gin on the island. Strong beer was <a href="/wiki/Prohibition_in_Iceland" title="Prohibition in Iceland">banned until 1989</a>, so bjórlíki, a mixture of legal, low-alcohol <a href="/wiki/Pilsner" title="Pilsner">pilsner</a> beer and vodka, became popular.
