Iceland has identity crisis, decides not to be Iceland anymore

Dust off your thinking caps, because Iceland needs you. The country best known for the twin inconveniences of volcanic ash and Bjork's music has decided that it needs a new identity. The tiny island has launched a contest in the hopes that it can find a new name, abandoning the one it's worn since Vikings landed on its (non-icy) shores over a thousand years ago. So what do you win if the tourism office decides your winning entry will be printed on maps from now on?  They're not sure, but possibly a trip to [Insert New Name Here]. "I still think Iceland is a good strong name," one resident said. Yeah, but that's no fun. [Source]
