30 August 2003: "Global Reach IV: Hail Iceland!"

I'll admit I don't know much about Iceland, other than what I can find in the CIA World Factbook, and what little I can remember from an attempt to read Njal's Saga well over a decade ago. But not too long ago, 4% of my hits originated from Icelandic servers. Pretty impressive for a country with a population half the size of my old hometown. But then again, according to The Economist Pocket World in Figures 2003, Iceland has the second highest number of internet hosts per capita in the world (205.6 per 1,000 pop.), surpassed only by the US (and as the figures note, since all ".com," ".net" and ".org" sites are counted as American, this pads the numbers).

I see I've also had some hits from Slovenia (looking for "legal regulation of adultery"? what were you hoping to find?) and Croatia (bog!), which expands the number of former Yugoslav republics from which I've received hits to three.
