It would cost an amount of money, but it wouldn’t really be a hugely expensive undertaking nor would it take longer than 5 years tops if done with any level of competency. There are 8 American cities that each individually have a higher population than the country of Estonia. The administrative overhead isn’t very big to begin with.
