On the other side, it's gorgeous, it's clean, there's virtually no crime of any kind, the standard of living is high (they have next to no poor people), and the women are freakin' killer.
Everything considered I'd prefer the U.S., but if I were born in Iceland I would likely never move here.

Emphasis mine
I've been there six times. I loved visiting, Blue Lagoon is very cool. But as a place to live, couldn't do it. Would get rock crazy and outside of Reykjavik there is nothing. Summer is in the 60's. It doesn't get as much snow as you would think (less than NYC), but is still plenty cold in the winter with little daylight. I believe alcoholism is high there. But high standard of living, which is easy to do when the population is 250,000 and educated.
