I'd imagine the first impact will be that the currency will be worthless, ie no imports at all. All exports will be traded in euros or bartered. The immediate sequestration and sale of all Icelandic owned foreign assets.

Crikey, no oil = a sailboat fishing fleet. Or the lease of Icelandic fishing rights to foreign fleets.

So, beer anyone?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Nope. Iceland can't grow barley. Hmm, what can you brew with seaweed ?

One could extract iodine which happens to be a reagent for meth.
