Estonia is a country located in Northern Europe, bordered by the Baltic Sea to the west and the Gulf of Finland to the north. It is a relatively small country, with a population of just over 1.3 million people, and its capital and largest city is Tallinn.
Estonia has a rich history that includes periods of Danish, Swedish, German, and Russian rule. It declared its independence from Russia in 1918, but was occupied by the Soviet Union during World War II and did not regain its independence until 1991. Since then, Estonia has rapidly developed into a modern, high-tech country with a strong economy and a high standard of living.
Estonia is known for its natural beauty, with forests covering over half of the country and more than 1,500 islands dotting its coastline. It is also known for its innovative use of technology, with its e-government system allowing citizens to conduct almost all government transactions online. Estonian culture is influenced by its history and location, with Nordic, Germanic, and Slavic traditions all playing a role.
