Iceland
Iceland is a country, that most Danes feel some kind familiarity with, and generally have a positive view of the country. People was a little mystified when the Icelanders, in Iceland's boom years, could year after year get a growth that surpassed our own. And it became a show case example, for liberal politicians here, when they argued for liberating the Danish economy to the same extent as the Icelandic.
Up to the crack there came more analysis from Denmark, and other places outside Iceland. Who questioned the sustainability of the Icelandic banking, but perhaps because of colonial past it seems, that there was a mistrust of foreign motives, for these reports.
Vanity Fair have an interestin article here "Wall Street on the Tundra" Even if it's horrible sterotypical in its description of the Icelanders.
