Icelandic Commonwealth

[Helios Ra]

I vote for a Republics DLC that fleshes out Iceland as well as merchant republics.

Why not? The most lawspeakers are of one of the noble families there. In Iceland there are some nobles families, which fight for the power. The Gothis are de facto hereditary priests. There are six families. Haukdælir, Oddaverjar, Ásbirningar, Vatnsfirðingar, Svínfellingar and Sturlungar. This sound for me more like a monarchy, then a republic.

So I would vote for electiv succesion instead of a republic with a random ruler.

But then you'd have to change Iceland to a six-county duchy, because only landed characters (1 county per family/dynasty) can vote. That would also make them way more powerful than they were.
