Iceland is the only country who, after the 2008 crash, let banks go bust and jailed bankers.
Parliament House, Alþingishúsið, is right next to the central square in Reykjavik - its wall & windows are metres from public space.
The "kitchenware revolution" is now infamous: Protesters brought pots & pans to the square and made a racket right outside parliament.
Icelanders held the rich to account because the literal distance between the people and the government was far smaller.
