The main points, such as dark winters & limited travel options have already been mentioned.
Besides being reserved, people's mindsets can be a bit provincial. Also, if you are non-white, you might find there are more accepting places to live in. Nothing major, I suppose. Real estate isn't that cheap anymore, in many cases it is overpriced in relation to people's purchasing power.
Estonia is ahead in digital services, but it is not just that. They have done some really smart choices since regaining independency. Flat rate taxation, leapfrogging from Soviet technology into wireless & digital governance etc. I expect them to continue to be the smartest country in the region.
Some random pieces of info:
- in Tallinn, public transport (buses, trolley buses, trams) is free for residents
- if a taxi driver does not use a meter, refuses to give a receipt, or the reciept is faulty, you don't have to pay (it is the law). Uber and Bolt (local Uber) are available.
- if you have provided some needed
certificate etc. to one government institution, another one can not demand it from you. This reduces bureaucracy (re: X-Road).
- private citizens can save into a non-taxed retirement account
- car leasing costs can be deducted in taxation, hence leasing is way more popular than buying a car
...my nationality which is banned from the fking entire world =_=
That leaves us only Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela. As you speak English and are educated, my guess is Iran.
