1. Estonia is small, but it is not the smallest country in Europe. It is bigger than Slovenia, the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland. It is about the same size as New Hampshire and Massachusetts combined.
2. Despite its small size, it feels big because only 1.3 million people live here. It makes Estonia one of the least dense countries in Europe, with only 32 Estonians per square kilometer.
3. Suur Munamägi, at just 318 meters (around 1,000 feet), is the highest mountain in the country.
4. Estonia’s relative flatness makes it a great location for Nordic ski training. An Estonian woman won two gold medals at the Turin 2006 Olympic Winter Games, and Estonians bought every pair of skis available in stores the next day.
5. Out of nearly 200 countries in the world, Estonia ranks second in adult literacy with a rate of 99.8 percent.
6. Estonia’s forests continue to grow, perhaps due to population decline.
7. In 1990, 22,304 babies were born; today it is almost half that amount. With the death rate increasing slightly, you can understand why the Estonian population is declining.
8. Only 46 percent of the population is male. However, before you single men book a flight to Estonia, consider that the main reason for this disparity is that men die quickly: their average life expectancy is just 65 years.
9. Estonia is the most libertarian country in the world, according to a meta-survey.
10. Estonia adopted the Euro on January 1, 2011 with its government finances in better shape than all other Eurozone countries!
