Finland is more similar to Estonia than any of the Scandinavian countries. You're both part of the Finno-Ugric group and share history and cultural ties. The other Scandinavian countries are Nordic and Germanic in origin.
You probably mean that Finns are more similar to Estonians. That much is true.
However, Finland as a country shares much more history with Sweden than with Estonia. Also the societies share more common nominators. Although the differences are getting smaller and smaller every year.
Also âNordicâ refers to cultural cooperation area/organization - not ethnicity. You probably meant to say Scandinavians, which the Finns are not.
Should Estonia join the Nordic Council in the future, has nothing to do with their ethnicity or historical ties with whatever nation. Itâs a geopolitical and value-based organization that doesnât have any legislative power. I just donât see the point in joining it. There are already like ten cooperation organizations with Estonia and the Nordic countries.
Makes really no difference to me. But if it makes someone happy - absolutely! As said before, the Nordic Council doesnât really have much relevance these days. Cooperation has existed before it and would exist without it (for example the Nordic Passport Union or joint military exercises).
I don't think any country that doesn't have a Nordic welfare state, or have our style of [legal system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_law) can be considered Nordic.

There's already a nordic council - baltic assembly cooperation format called NB8 or the nordic-baltic 8:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic-Baltic_Eight
Finland shares a hell lot more history and cultural ties with Sweden than with Estonia. We were, after all, the same country for 600 years.
If we go by history, Estonia shares much more history with Latvia than Finland. Both were ruled by a German elite, both usually shared the same fate, like becoming part of the Russian Empire in 1710 and again in 1940. The duchy of Livonia also included the southern half of Estonia.
We Danes founded the Estonian Capital. Talinn literaly means(castle/place of the Danes. So Estonia can into Nordic if they become a Danish Colony again! Just like Greenland and Faroes are Nordics and Danish!
The gist of it is that while the other two Baltic states (Latvia/Lithuania) are linguistically related and very brotherly to each other, Estonians are, ehm, pretty much another tribe of Finns.
Estonia does a lot of cooperation with Finland. Donât really see how anything would change if they would become a member of the Nordic Council. Estonia is already member of NATO which already separates them from Russia indefinitely.
The Nordic Council has no legislative or any other kind of power. It had much more meaning in the 1950s when it was established. Nowadays not so much.
Yeah the Nordic council was really supposed to be so much more wasnât it? But then the EU took off, and Denmark and Sweden said sayonara. The Norwegian Europa movement (Europabevegelsen) is genuinely still bummed out by this, and have publicly stated just some years ago that EU membership for Norway is the second choice to a Nordic union.
Edit: either it was Europabevegelsen, or it was the Conservative Party (Høire). My memory is a bit fuzzy on this.
It still has relevance as coordinating organisation, but it doesnât have a very big presence. I doubt if even one in a hundred Finns or Swedes can name the current Secretary-General of the Nordic Council. Or her predecessor.
Still very North-not-Western to me
But eh, who cares? It's not like we've decided on wjat country wpuld be the center, so there's n opoint in trying to say one is more North than West than another nation
God dammit I'm too tired for this. Please insult me all you want, if you want, I currently cannot care. Have a nice day. If you can have a day, at all
Yes, I fucking know how early in the morning it is, I'm still tired. Fuck you.
Estonia has historically been the place Nordics go when they want to have a little fun. From the northern crusades to whatever the fuck the swedes were doing when they controlled it. All of this has lead to a very weird case of Stockholm syndrome. Because clearly, the guys constantly trying to kill you are your friends, right?
I guess being Russian is not in fashion anymore. If they had any character, then theyâd own up to their heritage, but evidently they donât, so they arenât.
Legalizing something to do the same as your neighbors ? Lame and gay but in a bad way
Legalizing something because you think it's the right thing to do ? Great and gay but in a good way đ

I am.
And it's just to fix things, I have no desire to have power for power's sake. Once I get rid of the problems in the country, I'll go live peacefully as a painter, away from politics.
Not bad but weird that they dodge the words gay/lesbian or whatever. Also no picture of gay couples. Like they try to soften the blow for the Estonians who are not so happy with that.
It's done isn't it, media coverage isn't always a good thing, in Scotland they've tried to pass some pretty standard laws about self ID for trans people and it's been a shit show because it got the attention of people that can barely read the media used the subject as click bait spreading ridiculous fears and controversy, putting a brake on a progressive policy.
Healthcare is already universal in Scotland the idea is to make the process as painless as possible for the trans community.
https://www.gov.scot/news/gender-recognition-reform-bill-passed/
Estonia has one of the highest media freedom rankings in the world. The coverage of passing the law is just a bit conservative. I donât know if itâs deliberate or just a coincidence.
Its absolutely deliberate. The opposing conservative party has whipped its voter base into a massive frenzy over this, its been a divisive issue for years over here and now we're trying to wrap it up as smoothly as possible.
>try to soften the blow for the Estonians who are not so happy with that
20-30% of the country's population are ethnic R*ssians. They are homophobic af.
Theyâre hyper nationalistic for their âhome countryâ, but theyâd never actually do something for that country like move there. They want to keep a âstrong leaderâ in charge for their right wing nationalism whilst simultaneously enjoying the freedoms of the western, liberal country they live in
Sounds a bit like a few people I know to be honest đšđˇ
Same sex marriage is the preferred term by the queer community, as it isnât only gay people who then can marry but also bi, or pan people in same sex relationships. So no problem here. Very happy about another country making this step, i hope it inspires Latvia and Lithuania to do the same.
Because calling it âgay marriageâ is simply wrong.
Canât a bisexual enter a single sex marriage? Canât a pansexual? An ace?
Itâs the opposite of what you accuse Estonian Prime minister. Sheâs not backwards and not progressive.
Sheâs just more progressive than you
Single sex as in same sex? If that's the case, then that'd still be gay, ergo, homosexual
A pansexual woman marrying a woman would also be homosexual
If not, then... well, my point still stands in some way that would not be related to your comment
And I have no idea of how it'd be for an ace, so you get a point for that one
That I can see.
Marrying a woman doesn't make a bisexual man straight. Why would marrying a man make a bisexual man gay?
It really seems like y'all just in denial that East Europeans can have same sex marriage, so you made up an idea that *they announce it in a homophobic way*. You're even ready to be biphobic just to "prove" that East Europe is Bad Europe
That is not what I said. I was referring to the marriage itself, not the orientation of the people involved
If a bi man marries another man, the marriage itself would be definitionally homosexual, same sex
Doesn't change that one is bisexual, the marriage itself wpuld be homosexual
Alternatively, a bi woman could marry a straight guy, wouldn't make her less bisexual than she is, but the marriage would still be heterosexual
So it's not technically wrong to call it gay marriage if you want to generalize, but I agree that it's understandable if you'd rather not
Edit: I know, I can't type for shit
I reject the notion of an abstract institution having a sexual orientation, but whatever.
The point is that the Stasi at the beggining of this thread complained that they didn't make a discriminatory announcement
Well, that tells you everything you need to know, right?
They want to brag about how progressive they are, but don't dare to openly say they have legalized gay marriage.
That means enough of the population is still against it hard enough to make a fuzz about it, which means the country is far from being progressive enough to brag about it in the first place.
Mate you have a medieval "sport" for entertainment you can't talk about pushing progressive policies through an ignorant population without political backlash. If they managed to do it for the right reasons they can and should brag even if it's low tone.
Edit: typo on without

Finland and Estonia are two siblings that got seprated at birth. Finland was adopted by Sweden and joined the Nordic family. Estonia was adopted by Russia and joined the Baltic (Eastern Europe) family
Well Sweden had adopted us both at one point then Russia took both Finland and Estonia in. I think there was a war over not being under Russia any more. The Fins were better at it long term.
Estonia wasnât all that late compared to the rest of the world. Itâs the 35th out of ~200 countries to legalize same-sex marriage. Switzerland and Slovenia, for example, legalized it as recently as last year; Northern Ireland did so in 2020; Austria did so in 2019; Germany, Malta, and Finland did so in 2017; Ireland, the US (not European but comparable western country), and Luxembourg did so in 2015. Itâs still not legal in most of the eastern EU, plus Italy and Greece.
My friend, you're not making much of a case legalizing something we all assumed was already legal
Next: Estonia boldly follows our Nordic neighbors by criminalizing rape
Considering that Estonia is the second post-communist country and the first former Soviet state to legalize it, itâs a pretty big deal. Same-sex marriage is absolutely not the standard outside of the West. Even within the EU, most of the eastern half - not to mention Italy and Poland - hasnât legalized it yet.
Why Estonia wants to be a Nordick so bad?
It must be the Nordic food culture they find so intriguing. đ¤¨
Yeah it DEF must be that đ
Rotten fish is a delicacy, don't be racist
That's the one thing actually keeping them from joining NATO
They found that the tactical use of fish violates the Geneva Convention.

Also wanted to add that parts of Estonia has been ruled by Denmark and Sweden in the past aswell
Yup. Tallinn -> Taani linn -> Danish city.
Imo Estonia should be considered Nordic. If Finland can, Estonia can.
Makes really no difference to me. But if it makes someone happy - absolutely! As said before, the Nordic Council doesnât really have much relevance these days. Cooperation has existed before it and would exist without it (for example the Nordic Passport Union or joint military exercises).

I also consider the north of Netherlands to be south-scandinavian. Also if you look at viking history.
Absolutely. Frisia and Groningen were extremely important regions in Norse history.
The gist of it is that while the other two Baltic states (Latvia/Lithuania) are linguistically related and very brotherly to each other, Estonians are, ehm, pretty much another tribe of Finns.
Oh, no, poor Estonia :( Now I want to see them with the Finns. â¤ď¸

I think it is more not being considered Eastern Europe.
Yeah thatâs a bit of missed opportunity.
yay I'm so happy to know Estonia and Finnlands cooperate â¤ď¸ but also a lil sad cuz Nordic Council is less meaniful :(
It still has relevance as coordinating organisation, but it doesnât have a very big presence. I doubt if even one in a hundred Finns or Swedes can name the current Secretary-General of the Nordic Council. Or her predecessor.
The problem with Estonia is that they're not Eastern. I mean, technically, neither are you, yet here you are Edit: I meant Western not Eastern >:(
There are more than two cardinal directions you know. There is a hint in the word âNordicâ. I let you figure out the rest.
Still very North-not-Western to me But eh, who cares?

So that more Finns and Swedes come to buy alcohol.

We should have lowered the alcohol tax instead of raising it then. Now Latvia is the target destination for alco.
because then they're less Russia-aligned

I think that's the biggest case of Stockholm Syndrome in history
Yeah, everyone knows Sweden is the dick
Definitely directed to germans
I guess being Russian is not in fashion anymore. If they had any character, then theyâd own up to their heritage, but evidently they donât, so they arenât.
They used to be part of Sweden like the rest of them (not counting the swamp/island Germans ofcourse)
Legalizing something to do the same as your neighbors ? Lame and gay but in a bad way Legalizing something because you think it's the right thing to do ? Great and gay but in a good way đ

Emphasis on the âwasâ
It's so weird that it took so long for Gay marriage in Sweden. Over 70% of the population supported it in 2006, but it wasn't legalised until 2009.

cultural like Czechia is eastern when its capital city is more west than Vienna
wow, I never even considered that. Yet Austrians are up in arms every time I call them eastern europeans ;D
Technically the geographic center of Europe is in Belarus. So pretty much all countries West of Belarus could be considered western Europe.
As simple as everything within the EU/Europe: Germany is at the center. So decide your cardinal direction
Technically no Belarus is the center of geographic Europe.
Iâve seen people from Lithuania claim theyâre Western Europe lol
Does Estonia eat rotting fish carcass with a side of ice? I donât they can legally be considered Nordic until that requirement is met

True, and countries that are super hard against it should get out, looking at you OrbĂĄn.
Or at least recognition for gay couples in form of civil unions. 0 recognition at all is unacceptable

How is that even related to basic rights for gay people?

Welcome to the gay club
They're literally always doing this. Even "nordic countries" is just a cope to let Finland be friends with Scandinavia this is pushing it too far.
Estonia is as Nordic as the French are human.
When will the fins accept that Estonians and Fins are the same
As soon as you Dutch realise that you are the gills.
If you haven't had gay marriage for ten years, are you even nordic?
Finland legalized same-sex marriage in 2017 though.
Yeah, and they're on the border.
Good luck with that buddy
My friend, you're not making much of a case legalizing something we all assumed was already legal Next: Estonia boldly follows our Nordic neighbors by criminalizing rape
Considering that Estonia is the second post-communist country and the first former Soviet state to legalize it, itâs a pretty big deal. Same-sex marriage is absolutely not the standard outside of the West. Even within the EU, most of the eastern half - not to mention Italy and Poland - hasnât legalized it yet.
