Hi, Estonia!

"Avoid the crowds and the high prices in Europe’s most popular destinations and opt instead for Estonia, for Medieval old town centers, old-fashioned seaside towns and a modern, cosmopolitan vibe."

"When I told my friends about my month-long trip to the Nordic, more than a handful of them urged me to add Estonia to the itinerary. What would a small country like Estonia have to offer me after seeing the riches of Scandinavia? I thought, naively.

In a way that I could not have anticipated, I felt drawn to Estonia the moment I set foot in the country. Falling hard for the delicious cappuccinos and the beautiful medieval castles in Tallinn’s Old Town, I ended up spending two more weeks in Estonia than originally anticipated."

[Update]
Since long time ago I was trying to go to Uruguay as a personal invitation from Leandro4226. But due to lack of battles I was delaying my visit. Today I saw a battle in Uruguay and I took the chance to get Uruguay citizenship and deal my 100 Mil. damage.
As I came to Estonia first, my duty is to write the article about your country first. But then it came in my mind an idea about a Picture Contest challenge between both countries. If you are interested please read the rules at the end of the article.
If one of the communities is not interested in the contest the challenge will fail. In this situation I will write two separate Globe Trotter articles, but for sure Estonia's one will be first.

Original article

Almost one year ago I've started a Globe Trotter Project with the good intention to visit all the countries in eRepublik. Meanwhile I've managed to reach 56 countries and publish as many articles.
You may enjoy the last one, Globe Trotter in Sweden! which contains, at the end, an itinerary to all the other countries.

Now I am back to another beautiful Baltic country and I am very eager to discover its beautiful places. In the country wiki page is mentioned that: "In 2005 Estonia became the first nation to hold elections over the Internet, and in 2014 the first nation to provide E-residency". So in a way or another I am one of the new resident of eEstonia.

I would like to thank two players that helped me to be in Estonia: Niemand, a constant supporter of my articles, and Mr. President Mixliarder that was very open to my visit.

In the past I've also organized Picture Contest for the countries I visited. If there are at least two players that are willing to share the beauty of Estonia I can organize one. All you have to do is to send me some pictures about places you know in your country. If you are interest post a comment and if I have at least two participants I will come back with the basic rules.

Picture Contest Challenge - Uruguay vs Estonia
The purpose of this contest is to identify the best pictures from the two countries.
It will consist of two phases:
- Selecting the top 3 pictures from each country; for this I will write two articles, each with all the pictures proposed by players about one of the country. I will proceed to voting of the proposed pictures and select the first 3 ones from each article.
- Picture challenge! I will write an article with all the 6 pictures selected and ask everyone to vote. The country that will collect more votes for their pictures will be the winner. Be aware that I will not judge only the first picture but all three of them.

In order to encourage the players to propose pictures I will send a prize of 500CC to the players that proposed the best picture selected in each of the articles and 1000CC for the best picture selected in the final article.

As a basic guideline, if you want to participate in the contest, please send me up the three pictures (clear link to the picture url that is accepted in a eRep article). A short description for each picture will be very helpful and increase its odds to be selected.

If there will be interest in this contest I will come back with clear deadlines of the phases. Now I am only struggling to motivate people to propose pictures.
