Sama siin

What the hell are you talking about. 300 000 - 400 000 immigrants and you think 1.3m is talking Estonian?? Have you been to Tallinn or Narva at all?

@@AKR088 Tibla detected. You're not fooling anyone. Voting for Keskerakond yeah? Yana Toom your idol? Mihhail Kõlvart perhaps

Great i was looking down population of Dallas. 1.3 mil. I am from Mongolia 3mill. Your country is great, Leader to whole world.

A K jah meil on 1.3 mil inimest aga 25% on venelased ju ja paljud ei oska eesti keelt.

Japan, home of Galaga, Gyals, Games, and Galapagos-ification!

Why?

In 2400 Estonia's going to have solve the problem of not having metros by uploading everyone's brain into the first virtual democracy while Japan's going to have mechas that communicate via fax machine

After they regained independence from the Soviet Union in the 90's their new prime minister listened to Milton Friedman. They enacted an easy to manage flat tax rate for citizens and a 0% corporate tax on re-investments in Estonia. They allowed their economy to grow and kept their government small and un-intrusive. In later decades they adopted technology and outsourced expensive administrative government work to machines and automation. They're a brilliant and modern people. I hope the US will adopt some of their practices.

Estonias took a strong stand against corruption and the old soviet ways. It has become a principal here to say no to bribes of any kind. Fascinating culture based on truths and transparency.

they can't produce anything real.

Which is what, exactly ?

@@sratinavas5311 in future everything will be digital. If you are pointing to wheat rice and other things then they can buy it. So no problem.

They are the least religious country in the world - what a coincidence.

That is the ONLY reason, Milton's ideas put into practice, a flat tax, little regulation.

How about China

​@@tougheasterndicksoftblackdickchina not known as high tech for west people, it usually japan

That’s not by accident… I don’t feel as passionate as some but I would not like everything to be done digitally.

Its just words my friend, i do think it should be regained independence

And what is that event about almost capturing Russian capital? Never heard of it

@@ryhanzfx1641 The estonian war of independence where we were 10 km away from petrograd.

Can you move easily?

Tere Alex! :)

Same from the Netherlands. We do have a decent system for medical records, online ID for government websites, and online banking and finances (even payment system called Tikkie specifically designed for "going Dutch" digitally😁) but it's all no where near as advanced and easy as their system (and our voting is still 100% paper). It's also not as secure as theirs, because it's not a blockchain system.

You're always welcome in Estonia because Estonians are really welcoming and nice to people who go to Estonia because Estonia doesn't get attention at all from media. So you might wanna look forward on visiting us in the future.

@@IsverJusver yours country immigration laws is very complex.

yaa . I could think of running ass backwards into the t-800 ( Terminator ) . And I ´ll be all like : I ´ll be back !

Germany not having broadband internet? There is 40Mbps for 40€/month. Nobody has 5G yet.

@@jascrandom9855 Yes, but only in the big cities and conurbations, and even there not everywhere. The Internet coverage is very porous.

@@huckleberryfinn6578 My paternal side of my family lives in the country side in Germany, and they have very fast Internet. You must be thinking of Eastern Germany.

@@jascrandom9855 I've lived in the south if Germany for a while, and the only big problem with Internet that I've had has been the bad signal. Sometimes just getting into a house is enough to make your intenet not work, but this is mostly in small towns. Nonetheless, I've also experienced some problems in big cities like Munich or Stuttgart

@@jascrandom9855 , I know this is a bit old comment but 1Gbps for 50-70€ is and expected consumer pricing for today (both 5G and fiber). I personally have used only 4G for 25€ per month (unlimited data) since 2015 before that I used 3G which worked well enough so I was lazy to upgrade.

it's a tale for fools

@@sratinavas5311 It still is today? I'm just curious

Jethro Auguste It‘s not that cold here.

@@user-kn3of5pp8j go in February/ March and see for yourself then. 👌🏾

true...

Jethro Auguste I live here.

then certainly you have never been to Canada. Europe's coldest places are very mild compared to Canada...

OH NO. PLEASE DOONT

Nope. We have an e-embassy that stores all the data in a backup, in Luxembourg. More locations coming soon.

AlekseiLebedevEU congrats, you ruined the joke with the ‘ackchually’ card.

@@kagez6515 we don't make jokes in Estonia

You meant how to overthrow the world

Well if you have more people your gov gets more tax money to spend its all the same in the end.

Size is not that relevant. Infrastructure spend per capita is high in Estonia. The country is geographically the size of Netherlands, population about 17 million (Estonia 1.3). Think about the costs of the road network that needs upkeep. Plenty of highways lead to places where there are really no taxpayers.

shes ok

Yuling nooooo

Plus political will is lacking, at least I don't see any of the steps that need to be taken being made

I find that the political system is just a slogan. The key is leadership.

for example many british, german, and usa private company and public system still uses faxes...(!) ( they are not secure _at all_ , they were not originally designed with security in mind, no reason to use them ) in usa filing taxes is still a nightmare for no reason .. sometimes it really is better to be a small, nimble, high tech country, you can make big upgrades and changes fast, if you want to and the country can be more positive with tech use and training. you can far more easily totally train smaller populations than big ones, that have the culture of not trusting government. small new countries governments dont carry that baggage. in usa they would have a civil war if you tried to make estonia level changes into society, they would be scared, yell facism and all kinds of nonsense. in usa there are taxing firms industry that lobby against making taxes automated, because they would lose their business. in big countries its all so tiresome..

It depends, cuz in a certain situation it will only take a few days for the german flag to fly in their capital

@dota vinkz you might've forgotten the holy roman empire

I suppose that U mean China

lol

Yeah! We can easily switch off electricity in your country 7f u dont stop your stupid sarkasm

from 1796 Estonia was occupied by russian empire. Gained independence from russian empire in 1918. Got occupied by Nazi Germany in 1941. In 1945 german occupation was replaced with russian occupation. Gained final independence in 1991. So yeah, not much of indepence been going on.

They know their audience and it's not like even most Americans know how big the city of Dallas is. What city would you prefer they use, and how would that make any meaningful difference as to giving the audience a sense of perspective.

I don't prefer any city. Giving the numbers would do the job

They used a comparison because their demographic contains mostly English speakers from the United States. CNBC is a mainstream news source in the United States, not just a RU-vid Channel. Their audience is huge here, hence the comparison to a U.S State. The channel isn't generally geared toward "international markets" but for the people in the United States to view the international community.

In a sense, generally for Americans looking out. This is why the channel is called "International." Not because of their audience but because of the content.

Good explanation @@EganMRMark That explains. I'm not against it, but if they could explain it in more general terms like numbers, they'll have more audience.

@Studydocu Dotcom its less about that, its about easier access to IDs

@Robert Adkins hey man quit smoking weed, that is degenerate statement

Does it have your photo on it ??

Russia superb, have you Ever been in Russia?

Yes I went during World Cup 2018. Yes country view is nice.

@@marcusrakyat8891 So 135 EUR minimum salary, beton flats and garbage around them is superb for you?

@@marcusrakyat8891 2 options, you have 3 world standards or you havent been in Russia.

I'm Polish, fuck Russia. You don't need to talk about this country everytime you see an Eastern/ Central European country. It's irrelevant. It's 21st century now, not cold war. It makes Europeans angry.

No lyf vro without internet

@Radiation___2 Rise of the Finno Ugric tech empire then.

Estonia belonged to soviet russia so

Don't even start... Even within USSR Estonia has a relatively advanced economy.

@@lourencovieira313 Almost everything USED TO belong to something or another. Let go already...

You need a life

@@lourencovieira313 Did not "belong"... Soviets occupied Estonia.

hackers would leave a trace, which means new elections. So far there has not been any successful hacks of elections

@Nancy_investment

You are allways welcome

Good

99% of Estonia is covered by a connection to the net.

It has to be physically present for registration.

It's available for everyone. You apply online and one you are approved you have to pick the ID card up at any Estonian embassy or consulate around the world. But keep in mind that e-residency doesn't grant you physical residency in Estonia or the EU.

if i remember right, estonia has flat taxation. like 20% for every income class. sweden has progressive taxation up to 60%.

@@Redmanticore Income taxes and capital gains is flat at 20%. But there are social taxes and high VAT (20%). Meanwhile if you derive your income from abroad and it's capital gains, you'd be taxed less in the UK or Netherlands. They actually favor people immigrating who bring in money from abroad and don't compete with local workforce. Not true for Estonia.

yea the social tax sucks, we need to get rid of it and reduce VAT as well

@sujajajjaakakajjs, nope, as much as I don't like Russia, as a Chechen (even if atheist one), the Russians aren't even partly "Mongoloid", maybe, though, several percents; but they are mostly European, about half Slavic, and considerable Finno-Ugric, Germanic and Baltic admixtures. It's not developed? Sure. Corrupt as hell? Of course. But don't exaggerate.

Well... seems like this pandemic crisis proves something else - Estonian society is more ready for working at home, study at home, do anything at home.... But as the density of population is very small there is no need to sit at home all the time.

How are such reforms any easier in a small society??

@@eksiarvamus Less resources are required.

@@soubhick554 China havent solved main problem, what is low% internet access. If you want make servises digital, people must use it also.

@@soubhick554 Also, Less resources are available

@@rapator9270 You don't need people using the Internet to make services Digital. Only if you intend to make Exclusively Digital.
