Never considered it, but it seems to make a lot of sense. Would you mind pointing me to the evidence about this you mentioned?
P.S. This url - https://hypothes.is/register - accessible from most pages by clicking "sign up" in the top-right corner, presents an error and doesn't redirect anywhere. https://hypothes.is/signup works fine, however.
Except for Estonia (Estonia actually doesn't like to be associated that much with Baltics, their mentality is more in line with their northern neighbors.), governments here don't really know how to approach IT. They're just as much out of touch with modern technologies as US gov. It's quite chaotic and unregulated. Plus, silly amounts of corruption.
And the regulations that they do impose end up hurting the countries instead of helping them.
Plus, we are tiny countries (population-wise) that have 2nd world living standards. Not many people can afford to start startups.
