ESTONIA

Estonia is a Baltic Region country located in the Northern portion of Europe. Its borders include the Gulf of Finland to the North, Sweden to the west, Latvia to the South, and the Russian Federation to the East. Estonia experiences a seasonal, temperate climate, which supports a thriving agricultural and tourist economy. The majority of the population speak the Estonian language, which has many similarities to Finnish.

Estonia is comprised of fifteen distinct counties, each of which is governed by a centralized democratic parliament. Estonia is a republic nation, a member of NATO, the European Union, and the United Nations. It is in agreement with the Kyoto protocol as well.

Estonia began to be settled soon after the Ice Age, around 8500 BC. Throughout the centuries, the people of Estonia were subject to Russian, Swedish, Tutonic, German, Soviet Union, and Danish rule. Estonia ultimately regained its independence as a sovereign nation on August 20, 1991. Since then, Estonia has gained worldwide recognition for its rapidly growing economies, adaptation to new technologies, and economic freedom.

Estonia Web

Of the 1.3 million citizens of Estonia 855,000 or 65% of those were on the internet. Of the 855,000 277.000 of those connected via broadband access which equals to be about 21% and with future expansion planned this number is expected to increase over the next few years. So the question is with all of these people using the web where are the people of Estonia spending their time online? According to recent studies the most popular websites are YouTube as well as MySpace. In addition to the more popular sites there are a number of sites such as naistemaailm.ee and vsetv.ee that are also popular. Despite being cyber attacked two years ago resulting in a complete failure of the internet in Estonia, people are increasingly becoming more dependent on the web to do the majority of their online transactions. The most popular business that seems to be enjoying the use of the internet is banking, as a majority of people in Estonia do their banking online. In addition to business Estonia has become the first country in the world to implement online voting. During the last election citizens used a special card provided to them to cast their votes. These two factors are the reason that Estonia is often times referred to as the most wired country in Europe. With the announcement that the government plans on spending an estimated 6 billion to ensure that every citizen of Estonia has internet access that title will probably stick around for quite awhile.
