Estonia
Välisministeerium 2002
Even before the last roars of applause died down after Estonia's Eurovision Grand Prix musical victory in Copenhagen in May 2001, the questions began: do polar bears live in Estonia? Is it true that half of the country is wooded, including some of Europe's remaining primeval forests? Where does this quirky language come from, with its pronouns that refuse to indicate gender, and with so many vowels that it could lend some, at a small fee to the less well-endowed languages of the world?
The Estonian language may have no future tense, but our eyes are focused forward while our feet remain firmly planted on the ground. How else to explain the vision behind our project to create a genetic information bank for an entire, albeit small, people, and thus help streamline diagnosis and treatment of hereditary diseases worldwide?
Or take Estonia's grass-roots enthusiasm for the IT revolution: is it coincidence, or just plain luck, that our country is called E-stonia?
Then there are the sights and the sounds and the smells and the tastes: a steaming bowl of crayfish, potatoes and parsley with translucent onions floating on top, with a small glass of chilled schnapps on the side. And the sensuous twilight of the Midnight Sun?
