I don't understand why your country exists honestly.

Has your country ever been a big power?

Is latvian a hard language to learn?

Do Latvian girls like American dick?

>I don't understand why your country exists honestly.
Because it can.
>Has your country ever been a big power?
Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Kettler
>Is latvian a hard language to learn?
Latvian and Lithuanian both are pretty hard to learn (harder than English or Spanish), but they make more sense than Dutch, for example.
>Do Latvian girls like American dick?
I'm not a girl so I wouldn't know.

Are Livonians and Latvians the same peoples?

What is Latvia like today, in terms of economic and military standing?
>>
>>56163626
It's pretty easy, you just gotta be yourself, you know.

>>56163644
>Are Livonians and Latvians the same peoples?
Livonians were one of indigenous ethnics living in the territory what is now Latvia, but their numbers are pretty low. There's like ~500 of them iirc.
>What is Latvia like today, in terms of economic and military standing?
Economically and in terms of military we're quite dependant on EU and NATO. The global firepower website says our military is stronger than Estonia's and Lithuania's :D

thanks for the answers

How does Latvia view Russia?
>>
>>56163964
The state thinks it's hostile and imperialistic, the old people miss the good ol times, and the younger generation is largely indifferent or unaware of Russia's realities, people are more interested in work and study opportunities in Europe. Still a large part of businesses are tied with Russia even after all the sanctions.
>>
>>56163934
We have two big groups, which can be found in the internet.
But you never see parkour in the streets.

Livonians were Finno-Ugrics who spoke a Finno-Ugric language just like Finns and Estonians. Latvians "culturally enriched" them and now Livonians are extinct.

Victoria explained this in her Latvia video

>>56164501
The red-white-red Latvian flag (German: die banier der Letten ) was first mentioned in the chapters of the Rhymed Chronicle of Livonia (Livländische Reimchronik).[1] This historical evidence places the Latvian flag among the oldest flags in the world. The chronicle tells about a battle that took place around 1279, in which ancient Latvian tribes from Cēsis, a city in the northern part of Latvia, went to war, bearing a red flag with a white stripe.[2]

A legend refers to a mortally wounded chief of a Latvian tribe who was wrapped in a white sheet. The part of the sheet on which he was lying remained white, but the two edges were stained in his blood. During the next battle the bloodstained sheet was used as a flag. According to the legend this time the Latvian warriors were successful and drove the enemy away. Ever since then Latvian tribes have used these colours.

>>56164592
Historical record (this text from wikipedia, but it could be found everywhere)
>>
>>56164570
According to legend, the flag was already invented by Duke Leopold V of Austria as a consequence of his fighting during the Siege of Acre. After a fierce battle, his white surcoat was completely drenched in blood. When he removed his belt, the cloth underneath was untouched by it, revealing the combination of red-white-red. So taken was he by this singular sight that he adopted the colors and scheme as his banner.[1] The incident was documented as early as 1260, though it is highly unlikely.

That's the difference, in your legend the warrior was wearing a coat and in our legend the warrior was wounded and laid down on a sheet.

Great minds think alike, i guess.

Local music scene in not very big, since we have a population of 2 million. We do have many different festivals though out summer. The biggest one is Positivus

>Cute girls?
Just like any other country.

And as >>56167150 said, there also is a Latvian Song and Dance festival every few years. Thousands of people gather and sing songs together.

In what way are they cucked? If anyone they are even more shit because they wouldn't be cucked to America. As for what they accomplished, maybe study a little history. Space race and classic literature, as well as being a super power at one point. I think your meme country is just jealous of big Russian bear.
