Show Us Your Country

Thanks guys :)

U remember when Scotland played in Estonia but the Estonia team never turned up and Scotland won simply by kicking off? Why didnt the Estonians make it?

As a matter of fact i dont remember this...maybe it happend a long time ago....i may have been to little to stupid to understand things I surely hope things like this dont happen again....especially in August when Estonia hosts Brazil :)

Keep posting Javier, it's your country and you have every right to be proud of it. When my uncle's family come over I find it difficult to meet nicer people.

Javier , give us some pics with Persian stallions . If I am not mistaken , you have there some great races.

I also like the picture you posted LazioS70 of Estonia. Its terrific!
Is the Estonian flag based on the scenery thats found there?

Don't ask how I know this (was a freak for world geography as a child) but loosely speaking, yes. I guess the premise of every flag is to represent the people of the nation but I think comparisons between S70's pic and the actual flag says it all.

Anyway, I'm no expert so S70 can speak up

Thanks for that Caxi, you're quite the expert on Estonia but yeah I know what you mean.... flags and the shapes, symbols and colours contribute to the representation of the nation, people, history, etc. I know what the Bulgarian one represents as well as the NZ flag and a few other ones. I even know what the Australian Aborigine flag means (with the colour use and the shapes). Learned about it at school!

Amazing guys :) And yes the symbols from nature on the picture have all a meaning on the flag exept the shiny lake. White means hard work for freedom and happiness.
I hope i´ll have time to post some pictures from Estonian nature too.

I'm in love with Scotland as a country.... I will come there when Macedonian NT plays agaisnt Scots

According to the myth: The first flag in the world - the Danish flag - fell down in Estonia while the Danes where in battle there and it led Denmark to victory!
