Settled by Norse people in the 9th century, Iceland has one of the world’s oldest parliaments, the Althing, founded around 930. Under Norwegian and then Danish rule, it became a sovereign kingdom in 1918 and a republic in 1944. It joined NATO but never the EU, and after its 2008 banking collapse it recovered to become a world leader in gender equality.

Caucus is free, has no ads and collects nothing about you. If it helped you learn something, you can chip in with crypto.
Our goal is simple: to help people understand politics, not just react to it. Democracies work better when citizens can tell a policy from a slogan, know where leaders actually stand and are able to meet ideas they disagree with. Political literacy is what protects us from manipulation and polarization, and it is the first step to taking part in public life. Caucus turns ten dimensions, hundreds of leaders and thinkers and every country's political history into something you can explore in minutes, and keeps it free and private for everyone. Your donation keeps it independent, ad-free and growing.
