Reykjavik Is The World's Northernmost Capital
Iceland’s capital Reykjavik is the world’s northernmost capital of a sovereign state. If you are wondering what is the northernmost city in Iceland, it’s the town of Siglufjörður with a population of 1,300 people. And the northernmost city in the world is Longyearbyen, in Svalbard, Norway, which has a population of about 2,300 residents.
I can respect the need to control population growth. However, I am baffled by your choice to characterize the policy as "admirable in these times".
