The three European countries you mentioned, Iceland, Ireland and Finland, were not independant during the colonial period, being part of or colonies of other nations and thus not able to have colonies themselves.

OK - let's go for Albania then. Or Switzerland. Or Roumania.

Or Sweden. You didn't participate in the colonial ratrace, did you?

Albania was a product of the Balkan war of 1912, Sweden had colonies in Africa (St Bartholomews), India and for a short while in what is now USA.
