Estonia, nul points

Sovereign European states have always been and always will be notoriously competitive. Unsurprisingly, this can in some cases lead to some pretty silly things, among them the yearly embarrass-athon that is the Eurovision song contest.

For non-Europeans out there, it is perhaps best to explain that no-one really watches the Eurovision song contest for the quality of the songs or performances. What the Eurovision contest actually represents is the yearly opportunity for relatively passive European states to publicly ridicule or appease their nearest frenemy states; and in so doing, hopefully rid themselves of any associated national tensions. A cleansing, if you will.
