It seems to me that the game turned out to be most famous Icelandic export product by far. That's pretty cute.

  Well Bjork is more well known but Eve is worth more, income-wise :) IIRC Iceland's largest export is aluminum.

    IIRC this is not because Iceland has particularly rich stores of aluminum ore, but rather because refining aluminum ore into usable aluminum metal is energy-intensive and Iceland has abundant geothermal energy resources. So they import ore and export metal.

    Depending on what you measure the largest export of a single product is raw aluminum but industry wise fishing products as a whole are still a larger proportion. Also depending on how you want to classify it both are eclipsed by tourism right now.

    It's actually fish, aluminum being a close second: http://px.hagstofa.is/pxen/pxweb/en/Efnahagur/Efnahagur__utanrikisverslun__3_voruthjonusta__voruthjonusta/UTA05003.px http://px.hagstofa.is/pxen/pxweb/en/Efnahagur/Efnahagur__uta... To answer child, the type of electricity production is split 70 hydro/30 geothermal.
