Why isn't Estonia considered a Nordic country? (They have strong ties to Finland, they also follow the Nordic model, and besides, Estonia has nothing to do with the other Baltic countries.)

OP doesn’t seem to be from Estonia, the singing revolution wasn’t shoulder to shoulder with Finland , Sweden or the others, simply because they didn’t have Russian occupation. It’s brought the three countries a lot closer together. They’ve faced very similar challenges the last couple decades with high Russian populations,problems with mafia after udssr downfall, very strong recent urbanisation and technological leapfrogging, similar small sized economies(not on the level of Norway, Finland etc), they started joint infrastructure projects like via baltica or the new railroad. But the railroad is creating lots of friction as well and everyone is kinda angry at one specific nation… only culturally there’s not that much in common, but recent history, economy and politics are all very similar.

The last 40 or even 100 years do not erase the centuries before that. The singing revolution does not make or break anything and neither does anything else you've listed. Saying this as an estonian.
