Well done big O, Estonia are the 96th most important country in economic terms and this is a landmark achievement. Surely no one can now say that Jersey is bent as ninepence and a very good place to hide your money.

Famous people born in Estonia include Norman Wisdom, Heinrich Himmler and Dott Cotton.
