ESTONIA

- The capital of Estonia is Tallinn.

- Estonia , officially the Republic of Estonia , is a state in the Baltic region of Northern Euro.
Estonian Flag
- It is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Finland, to the west by the Baltic Sea, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by Lake Peipus and Russia.

- The official language, Estonian, is a Finno-Ugric language closely related to Finnish, and distantly to Hungarian.


- Estonia is a democratic parliamentary republic divided into 15 counties.


- The population is 1.29 million.

- The total area is 45,227 km2.

- Estonia ranks high in the Human Development Index, and subsequently performs favourably in measurements of press freedom, economic freedom, civil liberties and education.

- The most typical foods in Estonia are black bread, pork, potatoes, and dairy products.

- Kama  or talkkuna  is a traditional Estonian and Finnish finely milled flour mixture. The kama or talkkuna powder is a mixture of roasted barley, rye, oat and pea flour. The oat flour may be completely replaced by wheat flour, or kibbled black beans may be added to the mixture.

- Curd snack:  is a type of sweet snack made from curd, popular in the Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – as well as in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.


- Worth mentioning is especially the architectural ensemble that makes out the medieval old town of Tallinn, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition, the country has several unique, more or less preserved hill forts dating from pre-Christian times, a large number of still intact medieval castles and churches, while the countryside is still shaped by the presence of a vast number of manor houses from earlier centuries.




In my opinion Estonia is a very beautiful country. Estonian look very nice people. I would like to live there. 
Thanks to this post  I have found  a very beautiful country.
