Isn't Iceland going through a national financial crisis and also just booted their president for lying to them? That doesn't sound much better.

Yes, they just booted their prime minister. Sounds like a politically healthy country to me.

They also had their currency value cut to half in 2008, and that had a very real impact on the purchasing power of people. The currency has recovered a bit but the change is still there and its's big.

There are also currency controls for taking money out, etc. Iceland is still in severe shock.
