A Parliament From the Viking Age

The Faroese Løgting traces its origins to around AD 900, which makes it one of the oldest parliaments in the world. It still meets in Tórshavn, in a town of about 13,000 people.

The clock: Tórshavn keeps UTC+0 with Britain rather than UTC+1 with Denmark, which governs it — one of the few places where an autonomous territory chose a different hour from its capital.
