I thought about Iceland, yes, but the lack of rare earth resources was what swung it for me, and their economy has been increasingly reliant on tourism since the banking unpleasantness.
Greenland was also settled by Vikings and as such it would be upholding tradition for ARRSErs to go Iceland and steal their women as required. Also their horses so we can have a little cavalry - much easier to maintain than tanks and less environmentally damaging.
I'm afraid I'm missing your point with the lady sheep farmer - she's a tall skinny woman with wrinkles from working outdoors (and both I and
@Grownup_Rafbrat can look in the mirror for that), but that is a fine jumper she's wearing.
