Since the project seems to have an educational bent, what would the proper REST interface for it look like?

GET:

http://restcountries.eu/rest/alpha/ee would be http://restcountries.eu/countries?alpha=ee

http://restcountries.eu/rest/name/norge would be http://restcountries.eu/countries?name=norge

That seems right, right?

Neither is more or less RESTful than the other. The media type and link relations express to the client what resource is being returned, not the URL itself.
