My Estonia

Estonia is a country in Northern Europe in the Baltic region. It is bordered to the north by Finland across the Gulf of Finland, to the west by Sweden, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by the Russian Federation. The territory of Estonia covers 45,226 km² and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate.

The Estonians are a Finnic people closely related to the Finns, with the Estonian language sharing many similarities to Finnish.

Estonia is a democratic parliamentary republic and is divided into fifteen counties. The capital and largest city is Tallinn. Estonia has been a member of the United Nations since 17 September 1991 of the European Union since 1 May 2004 and of NATO since 29 March 2004. Estonia has also signed the Kyoto protocol. With only 1.3 million inhabitants, it comprises one of the smallest populations of the European Union countries.

@fat0nick We Hungarians are originating from the Ural mountains, too... and probably you know the names of Liszt, Kodály and Bartók, just speaking about musicians. Estonians probably didn't have many prominent people because 1) there are few of them 2) foreign rule didn't allow talented people to break out and be world famous.

Loved Estonia. Visited Tallinn last year and I felt in love! Like @Niinimaeki did for the Finns, I have to apologize for how the Italians act in Tallinn. Please try to understand that most of the rude ones are closer to Africa and Gheddafi than to the rest of europe :)

@SirMegaToxity Several hundred years under communism? lol, go back to school and learn history when communism came to life.

About living in Estonia, I lived there and I know what living in Estonia is all about. Estonians are pretending to be superior race when they are absolutely nothing in the world, a small, puppet country throughout history. Racist goverment, crying about Russian occupation all the time. Apart from that I love Estonia, it's a beautiful country.

@SirMegaToxity If it weren't for Russians, Estonia would be in medieval age now, 70% of everything built in Estonia atm is by Russians and including industry. Estonians are villagers, what makes Estonia nowadays is a big thanks to Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Russia. End of story
