Iceland does seem to be handling a lot of the issues inherent to 3rd density quite well; they get 99.9% of their power from renewable sources (according to wiki 26.2% comes from geothermal power, 73.8% from hydro with only 0.1% coming from fossil fuels.); the government refused to bail out the banks in 2008 and jailed corrupt bankers, they did suffer economic collapse, however the government was able to use the funds that it would have given the banks to shield it's people from the worst of the collapse and now the economy is bouncing back with a rapidly decreasing unemployment rate set to stabilize at around 2%; The overthrow of corrupt government post-collapse and rewriting of the constitution which every citizen was allowed to participate in (though the government elected in 2013 went back on passing the bill that would put this new constitution into law).
So yeah, lots of good stuff coming out of Iceland recently, though you don't hear much about it in the news
