I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european country' is the definition.
(country in Europe)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for estonia that I've seen before include "East European country" , "European country, capital Tallinn" , "Republic in the Baltic region, once part of USSR" , "Nation" , "Republic in northeastern Europe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
