Edit: yes yes go on, those are the exact answers I want. I want to give examples of what foreigners know about my country. Without running off to Google, I know the language is Finno-Ugric, that it was once a part of the Russian Empire, I believe it was occupied by Germany during WWI and it's petite (not that that's its fault, of course) and a stone's throw away from Scandinavia. -- Posted by Mabzie at 8:03 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Baltic country.

I remember that because I thought the word 'Bothnia' sounded really dark and twisted (not saying that Estonia is though, of course). Maybe I am completely wrong too... Um it's up north from here, between Sweden and Finland just where the land borders meet.
