Iceland conversion
As has been posted in the past, Iceland only uses their counties for traditional purposes, and an 8 region division is more accurate (and certainly more easy to collect).
Starting now, the 8 regions of Iceland will be collectible, instead of the previous list of counties, which none of our customers had been able to complete.
We have put the effort into mapping the counties to the regions where possible, and many customers will already have as many as 7 of the new regions already.
However, many customers will notice this conversion in seeing a reduction in the number of regions that you have collected. Please do not be alarmed, this has happened for everyone who has collected Iceland regions. We have asked many customers for their feedback, and a great deal of consideration was put into this decision, including previous discussions here on the forum, such as at

Re: Iceland conversion
Thank you once again
I can see why we're missing Sudurnes, as it has been a part of Gulbringusysla and you probably weren't able to split that region into two. Hope it counts now though

Re: Iceland conversion
I think that this change is good! I miss now only Suðurnes! (I don't know if it is easy to get it! )

Re: Iceland conversion
Nikolaos, do you actually read comments?
Sudurnes should be quite easy as it has Keflavik in it, which is a big town. We would have had it already but Jeremy would have had to split Gullbringusysla into two, which probably wasn't possible.

Re: Iceland conversion
Thanks Holland, I just did not understand what you first said about Keflavik! Of course it is clear!
