IAN BIRRELL: Around the world, governments are deeply dissatisfied with them, whether they are democracies marooned in political ineptitude or authoritarian dradragons that abuse their positions of authority. However, in Estonia, a Baltic nation of 1.3 million people, you have a different opinion on their governing system. Georgi Abolymov, 33, a personal trainer I met walking his dog in Tallinn's capital, is typical. 'I absolutely trust my government - it's very difficult to be a bad guy here these days, so we can all trust the system.' The explanation for such ferocious belief is simple. Estonia re-emerged as a sovereign republic after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, but it was still broke and shattered. So its politicians bet on technology, and now this nation is the world's biggest digital government.
