Why is Estonia such a wonder of a country?! Only 25 years ago it was devastated by communist rule, but now Estonian people live better than Greece, Portugal and Italy, we're not even talking about ex-USSR.
By the way did you know that public transport is FREE in Estonia? And they even can VOTE ONLINE? And NOKIA has facilities over there because Finnish infrastructure is obsolete compared to Estonia, which is LITERALLY permeated with optic fibre?
Bravo, Estonia.

When is Estonia getting BROWNED and as such becoming an actual First World country?

A combination of natural resources like oil shale combined with internet services and nobody living there.

It's an indicator, they join the variables they want, the data is correct on both, if you use some varibls, you get some result, if you use others you have probably other. Quality of life is not the same as Hdi. Also Estonia hasn´t what Portugal, Italy and other's on the west have... millions of non-natives immigrants from africa and asia, just wait and see.
Owen Bennett
>Quality of life is not the same as Hdi.
In fact it isn´t
James Allen
Almost, but not really. It takes into account some environmental aspect too, which don't necessarily show in people's "quality of life".

QoL is the only thing better for Portugal.
Which is hard to figure out when Purchasing power, safety, health, cost of living, and pollution figures all sway toward Estonia on that chart.
