Smart Nation
Sitting on the Baltic Sea, Estonia is a land of forests, farmers, and folklore. Estonia's distinct version of Nordic culture has created the perfect conditions for the world's first digital government. In addition to common sense and pragmatism, good fortune played a role in Estonia's emergence as a leader in e‐government. Timing was another key factor in the development of Estonia's e‐government. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the emergence of Estonia as a free nation coincided with the rise of the Internet. The backbone of Estonia's e‐government is X‐Road, a homegrown data exchange system that shuttles information instantly and securely between thousands of databases. The e‐government system also keeps Estonians abreast of what's happening in their traditional government. Estonia's e‐government reflects the national character. It's a practical tool, designed primarily to save time and money while still respecting personal privacy.
