Not surprisingly, Estonia has opened up an embassy in Second Life:
Perhaps unlike other “embassies” in Second Life, Estonia’s is interesting because of its focus: they’re not here to show off the natural beauty of their lovely country and attract tourists. Instead they have settled to invite the visitors to experience a very high-tech country which is at the forefront of the computer and Internet revolution. It’s very likely that they’re planning to attract similarly-minded individuals, organisations, and governments from other countries to learn with Estonia how to expand and develop the roots of e-government and an information society inside a democratic country — Estonia having been ranked by “Reporters Without Borders” as having the fourth highest index of press freedom (the US ranks at #44) and by the State of World Liberty Index as the country with the highest level of individual and economic freedom and limited government (the US ranks at #8).
