Estonia, also known as e-Stonia, is a European country located between the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea. It is one of the least crowded countries in Europe, with beautiful beaches and a lot of lakes. The country gained her Independence on February 25, 1918, and is fast developing to being one of the most wonderful countries to be in Europe. It is a country situated next to a highly privileged region: a region with the highest concentration of `billion dollar companies` outside of Silicon Valley. The country is known for having lots of land, being predominantly female with distinctly more women than men, and it is one of the least crowded countries in Europe brimming with preserved medieval cities, enchanting forests, misty bogs and ancient traditions.
