Didn't the vikings abandon their settlements there? Has there been constant European inhabitation since the vikings? I didn't think so.
But my understanding is exactly the same on the name - it was purely dishonest advertising. So Jonno, either start worrying or go to the CATO institute website to find out why its all a big lie put about by socialists and commies trying to deny that the market is the answer to everything.
