two seas away eh?
Reykjavik
Brrrrr - cold. (But a good guess: correct hemisphere and continent - though not an answer by the head of history department, I'm sure.)
I must admit: not sooooooooooooooooo cold. :wink:
It's quite easy with this hint: the head of state is a lady (althought the title would suggest different).
If I understand the question : Westminster...
So lets analyse this.
Iceland is too cold but right continent
Europe.
The parliament is named in the language spoken by people 500 miles away....
Azores
Canaries?
Well, non of the above.
If some of you were fanatic bikers (real fanatic, I mean, not such as Steve) ...

And in Denmark the head of state is the Queen, and it's parliament means thing in "Swedish". And I think part of their parliament is made up of folks from Greenland, which would have made Iceland "not so cold" a guess.
But we're both wrong ...
Madaba?
