taken from a random site...
"The Icelandic experience is unique indeed and not easily replicable elsewhere. What is also remarkable is their ability to preserve their language, spoken by only 280,000 people. With such a small population, it must be very expensive to publish a book or a newspaper, much less run TV channels in the Icelandic language. In addition are advertising, product labeling, or indeed anything in public life – how can you manage a whole country with its own spoken language with only 280,000 people ? Despite that, the Icelanders publish the largest number of books in the world on a per capita basis, mostly translation of foreign publications into Icelandic, and they have even produced a Nobel Prize winner in literature. The cost of these must be tremendous but probably well subsidized by the Icelandic economy. Therefore things are expensive in Iceland, but their economy can support it, and the Icelandic people see the preservation of their language as a matter of national pride"
Apparently Iceland is only about a third more expensive than the UK and still not as dear as New York or Japan.
