Estonia
Estonia is in Europe, as you can see above, it is bordered by Latvia, Russia, and Finland. I am going to tell you about Estonia. It has water on two sides and has an airport in Tallinn its capital. Estonia is a very small country. It is smaller than the size of Vermont and New Hampshire.
I chose Estonia for my project because I did not know about it. As I went along in the project, I really like Estonia and how their government is run. They have a president that serves for five years who gets elected by the one hundred-one parliament members. The president then chooses the prime meridian and the parliament votes on him or her. Currently the president is Toomas Hendrik Ilves who works in the Capital of Estonia, Tallinn. I like the location of the capital and that it is near the coast. Estonia has two independence days which I think is unique on February 24, 1918 and also on August 20, 1991 which is probably why Russia and Estonia don't like each other. But, some of the countries Estonia is allied with are the United States of America, Sweden, and Germany.
Their sports are also interesting their soccer teams are 87th best for men and 77th best for females in the world. They are also really good in the Olympics their best winter events are Cross-country Skiing and Figure Skating, and their best Summer Olympic Sport is Rowing and Track and Field. They have set many records and won many medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
The average family makes $27, 000 Euros each year which is a lot of money in my opinion compared to some other countries in the world. The unemployment rate is relatively low at 7%. There are 200 churches in Estonia, there are some wooden churches on Saaremaa Island even though only 30% of Estonia believes in religion mainly Lutheran. There are more females than males in Estonia. The population is 1,265,420 which is decreasing recently probably because the Fertility Rate is only 1.53 or maybe it is from the cold weather. The weather ranges from 17.1 to -7.6 degrees Celsius year round and a lot of the country is covered by trees. For farmers at least the land is low lying with a peak elevation of 318 Meters. Many Estonians go to the Great Song Festivals where 25,000 people sing along to the song by great musicians.
I loved researching about Estonia because it is a cool country.
