Wow. Why such a relatively large number of #1?

People are probably going to get confused/judgmental over the use of the point verses the comma, so you may just want to exclude them from the number (despite their appearance on the source site). Good quiz though!

Tobin: There are a lot of Polish guest workers in Iceland (or at least there was).

This is a very strange list! I suppose Icelanders are so generally so insular that the numbers born abroad are just too low to see any solid patterns. Very surprised at no Norway, the number in Poland seems very strange and have no idea what they're doing in the Philippines!

This is so funny; Polish are everywhere :D In the case of the Asian countries I suspect marriages as well as workforce.

I`m not surpise about the Philippines, Iceland probably has a shortage of nurses.

The Philippines #1 export is labor. A large percentage of the world's ship workers are Filipino, and 40% of Iceland's economy is still based on fishing and fish products. My guess is there are many Filipino sailors on the fishing boats in the North Atlantic.
