1. Online selectie:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2005 was Estland het eerste land ter wereld dat politieke verkiezingen hield via internet.<\/p>\n

2. Kraters:<\/strong>\u00a0Estland heeft de hoogste concentratie meteoorkraters ter wereld (het hoogste aantal meteoorkraters per km2)<\/p>\n

3. Hoofdsteden:<\/strong>\u00a0Hoewel Tallinn de enige offici\u00eble hoofdstad van Estland is, heeft het land een aantal onoffici\u00eble hoofdsteden met elk hun eigen kenmerken. Tartu is bijvoorbeeld de culturele en intellectuele hoofdstad, terwijl P\u00e4rnu bekend staat als de \"zomerhoofdstad\".<\/p>\n

4. Twee onafhankelijkheidsdagen:<\/strong>\u00a0Estland heeft twee nationale onafhankelijkheidsdagen. Estland werd onafhankelijk van Rusland op 24 februari 1918 en opnieuw op 20 augustus 1991 na 51 jaar bezetting.<\/p>\n

5. Minst religieus land:<\/strong>\u00a0Estland is het minst religieuze land ter wereld; slechts 16% vinden religie belangrijk in hun dagelijks leven, terwijl maar liefst 78% religie niet belangrijk vinden. De overige 6% weigeren te antwoorden of antwoorden 'weet niet'. De gegevens zijn afkomstig van onderzoeken uitgevoerd door Gallup in de jaren 2006 - 2009.<\/p>\n

Feit: Kiiking is een sport waarbij het doel is om zo krachtig mogelijk te zwaaien. Hoe meer kracht je in de zwaai stopt, hoe langer de armen van de zwaai worden. Het record is 7 m en 2 cm<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Paul Keres:<\/strong>\u00a0Meer dan 100.000 mensen woonden de begrafenis bij van de Estse schaakgrootmeester Paul Keres (1916 - 1975) in 1975.<\/p>\n

7. Kiiking:<\/strong>\u00a0De Est Ado Kosk bedacht de sport 'kiiking' rond 1996. De naam van de sport komt van het Estse woord 'kiik', wat 'schommel' of 'slingeren' betekent. De sport bestaat uit een grote schommel die 360 graden kan draaien. Hoe meer kracht je in de schommel zet, hoe langer de armen van de schommel worden. Het huidige record is 7 meter en 2 centimeter, in handen van Andrus Aasam\u00e4e.<\/p>\n

8. Gratis vervoer:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinds 2013 is al het openbaar vervoer in de hoofdstad Tallinn gratis. De maatregel werd ingevoerd om het aantal auto's in de stad te verminderen en het leven voor de minder bedeelde inwoners van de stad makkelijker te maken.<\/p>\n

9. Bossen:<\/strong>\u00a0Ongeveer 61% van Estland is bedekt met bos, met als meest voorkomende boomsoorten den, spar en berk.<\/p>\n

10. Honing:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1994 voerde Estland als eerste land in Europa een \"vast\" belastingtarief in van 26%, dat geldt voor alle burgers, ongeacht hun inkomensniveau. Het nieuwe universele belastingtarief verving de eerdere 3 belastingtarieven voor persoonlijk inkomen en 1 voor bedrijfsinkomen. Het voorbeeld werd later gevolgd door Litouwen (in 1994) en Letland (in 1995).<\/p>\n
