Estonia

Languages spoken in Estonia: Estonian.

Estonia, a state in Northern Europe, is traditionally the most Estonian-oriented country in the Baltic region. Unlike Latvia and Lithuania, Estonians are of Finno-Ugric origin. Their language is related to Finnish.

Estonia became independent in 1991 as a parliamentary democracy. Following the Scandinavian model, the community was completely reorganized: few hierarchies, much transparency of the state organs, modern communication technology. This quickly paid off.

In Estonia, a true electronic revolution took place in just a few years: In 2004, 93% of the population already had a mobile phone, and by law Estonia guarantees access to the Internet by setting up free public Internet access points. This scheme is unique in Europe and already half of Estonians use the Internet, with the Estonian government aiming to increase this to 90% by 2007. In Estonia, all schools are also online.

Estonia is a member of the European Union.
