[Serious] The revolution was successful! The old government is gone. You get to help write the new Constitution. What do you put into it? (sopuli.xyz)

Iceland tried partially crowd-sourcing their constitution. https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/iceland-crowdsources-its-constituti-12-11-15/

However, that failed in the parliamentary process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932013_Icelandic_constitutional_reform

The question of whether the text of the proposed constitution should form a base for a future constitution was put to a non-binding referendum, where it won the approval of 67% of voters.[3][4] However, the government's term finished before the reform bill could be passed, and following governments have not acted upon it.

Wait. So does Iceland have an official Constitution now or nah?
