I frequently hear about "startup-favourable climate" in Estonia, but how good it really is and at what stage. A good analogy may be tourism. When you come as a tourist to a village in a middle of nowhere you get all the hospitality and attention. When you come to Paris, shop sellers can yell at you 15 minutes before the shop is closing to get you out immediately, since they simply don't care - there is a constant flow of tourists, so individual ones don't matter any more for them. At what stage Estonia is with startups?

They are at the '20% company tax' stage

Table 3 in [1] seems to suggest that there are many other places (some in Europe/EU/NATO) where company tax is lower than 20%. From the blog post it seems author moves for the attitude rather.
