How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

Don't have a clue.
Probably those who explored the continent like UK, France, Norway.
Maybe USA cos they claim everything.
Maybe some southerners like Argentina and New Zealand.....

We don't claim much cold stuff!

Your other guesses seem about right, and I couldn't guess any closer. But I do remember that it's 5 or 6 countries at least, and kind of a scattering across the globe.

I'll blow this open because I'm bored with it.

Iceland has - Alþing - The Law Thing
The Faroes have - Løgting - The Law Thing
Åland has - Lagting The Law Thing
Greenland has - Landsting - The Land Thing
Denmark has - Folketing - The People's Thing
The Isle of Man has - Tynwald - The Thing in the Meadow

But...

Norway has - Storting - The Big Thing.

Someone else go now.

Alþing in Island does not mean "law".. It is obvious that it means all

Law descends from Lag or lagu, so you see Lagting and Løgting Swedih and Faroes are later developments of the ur-language spoken by more or less everybody up in the north--
alla=al= all
Lagu=lag=law

law (n.) Old English lagu (plural laga, comb. form lah-) "law, ordinance, rule, regulation; district governed by the same laws," from Old Norse *lagu "law," collective plural of lag "layer, measure, stroke," literally "something laid down or fixed," from Proto-Germanic *lagan "put, lay" (see lay (v.)).

Yes. I bow humbly before your stick of correction.
