A bit more about Estonia:
We have almost what Sweden, Norway and Finland have, but it's more accessible (explained afterwards) here.

Everyman's right - you can go where you want and camp where you want. You can cross simple fences and walk on private land, if you don't damage it. You can generally make a fire anywhere. Of course the official guidelines say that "only make a fire where intended to do so" but there's a long story before that how to make a place appropriate for firemaking.
Nobody I've ever known has gotten a fine for making fire in the woods, on the beach or wherever.
You can also pick berries, mushrooms and other edibles from wherever.
2.
Our State Forest Management Centre manages 5 national parks, 13 recreation areas, 40 other protected sites and hundreds and hundreds of official trails with information available online. Everything is accessible for everyone. There are also forest cabins (you need to pre-book) and other countless camping sites where you have a toilet, a woodshed, a fireplace and a couple of chairs.

Our nature is similar to the UK. More broad-leaf and mixed forests than in northern Sweden and Finland. Less metropolitan areas and towns than in Scandinavia. Only our capital and it's surroundings are very densely populated and even so there are animals and woods all around. I live 15km from the capital and see moose, fox, rabbit and roe deer tracks every week.
I have bought numerous UK bushcraft books and can recognize almost all the species. Very few plants can not be found here that I've read about in UK-specific books.
4.
Cheaper compared to neighbours - This can be argued now that we have the Euro, but I still think we're cheaper. I've also lived in Denmark for 2 years and the prices there were nearly double of ours. Then again maybe our public transportation is not that good.
5.
Islands! - We have 1520 islands, most uninhabited and accessible via everyman's right. Rent a boat, play island survival.
6.
Developed IT sector - Aside from everyday benefits like mobile reception and internet available everywhere (even in remote places), e-elections, mobile parking and so forth you can for example buy a 1-day fishing permit via SMS which costs like 1,6€. Very convinient.
For further references, PM me, I can show pictures and talk about specifics. I also have about 40 days of vacation still available this year and would be happy to show anyone around.
