1. It's on Europe across or under from Scandanavia
Used to be behind the Iron Curtain, but is now free.

Has an oil economy.

Had a huge setback this year when a computer virus knocked out the country's economy - apparently everryone in Estonia does everything online and when the computers were hacked there, they were in trouble.

But that answer doesn't make a person laugh.

Seriously, I do find it sad that someone could win 175K for knowing that Estonia is in Europe.

12. It's probably west of the Caucasus Mountains so I'd have to say Europe

Otherwise, Asia.

Why "Europe" isn't just seen as a peninsular appendage hanging off the west of Asia, I'll never know.
