Country Details Description: Estonia, the smallest of the Baltic States, was ruled for many centuries by Danish, Swedish, German, and Russian factions. When the former Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it gained its long-awaited independence. The somewhat new country of Estonia is now forging relationships with the west, including the European Union (EU). The local economy still revolves around varied agricultural industries. Recently, tourism has increased, especially in and around the capital city of Tallinn, with its medieval architecture and history. The Estonia maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
