Problem with Latvia is the economy is getting steamrolled into the ground, along with various government policies about employment meaning everyone is losing permanment places, and being highed as temps in companies which have an exception to a new employment tax, then these temps get hired by these companies by other companies. So the attempt to get more tax is instead ended up through loopholes, being used to make others richer.

Also, Latvian nationalism is a very interesting concept, especially with a high population minority of them being Russians, who actively see themselves as being Russian and refuse to even use the Latvian language. They are also quite distinctive compared to the native Latvians. They even experience the New Year at Russian New Year time.
