  1. France isn’t one to talk, it’s 32nd in the world. For reference, the UK is 26 and Portugal is 20

  2. Considering how many times I see that ad for an Estonian university here on Reddit, they bloody better have high standards.

  3. Estonia is great! Hell let’s just swap it with sweden

  4. I went there for a road trip last summer and I say yes. Pretty much W Europe. But we need to kick some Narva Russians back over Russian the border tho..

  5. No. We’ve already got enough pointless, made up countries like Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Belgium

  6. Split Sweden between DK, NO, FI and Estonia? Deal.

  7. Estonia is as east as east Europe can be, why would it be west?

  8. Estonia will be become a colony of Finland, our Ruzzian Friends will back off et voila, there you have it: problem solved.

  9. They can be on this council, but we do not grant them the rank of Nordick.

  10. Why be part of Western Europe when they could just stay part the superior Northern Europe?

  11. Of course (saying this as E🤮stern European with Estonian roots btw)

  12. Quality life is lower in Portugal?

    No, not a chance.

  13. What’s the foreign population % in Estonia?

    Sounds like they might need some diversity.

  14. Sorry, no.

    The term “West” has a pretty unambiguous definition. And there’s nothing wrong about not being West. 

    Would be fun just to piss off Poland if we let EE in but not them. But still.

  15. I refuse their quality of life is too high for western Europe, they can apply to Nordicks too

  16. I’m not even sure Austria should be in Western Europe. They are stirring trouble all the time, they should be Balkan.

  17. But… isn’t Russia already about to accept them into Russia?

  18. I went to Estonia in 2019 and liked it. The old town in Tallinn is really nice, but once you leave the main city centre there was a lot of soviet gloom.

  19. What’s the metric on this anyway? Doesn’t look like HDI, IHDI or GDP per capita

  20. im calling BS solely based on weather, sorry, no amount of welfare state and social wellbeing will make it worth it

  21. Actually I think we should kick everyone lower than Estonia out of Western Europe

  22. Some very suspicious stuff in that ranking, but Estonia undeniably has high living standards. Hands off though it goes to the Nordicks, you brokies.

  23. No. The people have little man syndrome. Tallinn’s beautiful city center is basically empty like a museum. It’s a scam.
