Can't say that the police in Iceland is that militarized, but they would probably be used against a self-sustaining anarchist society, no matter how small, when that would hit the news and become a mainstream discussion (and it would be controversial as anything else in the country, there was f.e. a minor shitstorm when some individual wanted to live alone in the woods close to Reykjavík some years ago: http://www.visir.is/g/2015150939991 (the article is in Icelandic FYI)).

Anyway, I don't really think that Iceland has that much more empty land as other countries, because most of Iceland is covered in uninhabitable mountains, also known as óbyggðirnar (no-mans-land/where none can live).

Also don't really know how you would self-sustain food-wise other than raising some animals and live of them, but vegetables and other stuff like that is pretty hard to sustain, especially with the cruel climate that often takes place outside the capital, mostly in winter...I don't really understand why people still live on that giant volcano, but the discussion about moving to another country seems to be regular around most ages, as far as I know.

But enough about that, it would still be interesting to see an alternative society like that and how well it would work out in the long run.
