Latvia (i/ˈlætviə/; Latvian: Latvija [ˈlatvija]), officially the Republic of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Republika), is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe, one of the three Baltic states. It is bordered by Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south, Russia to the east, and Belarus to the southeast, as well as a maritime border to the west alongside Sweden. Latvia has 2,070,371 inhabitants and a territory of 64,589 km2 (24,938 sq mi). The country has a temperate seasonal climate.
Latvia is a democratic parliamentary republic established in 1918. The capital city is Riga, the European Capital of Culture 2014. Latvian is the official language. Latvia is a unitary state, divided into 118 administrative divisions, of which 109 are municipalities and 9 are cities.
Latvians and Livs are the indigenous people of Latvia.Latvian is an Indo-European language; it and Lithuanian are the only two surviving Baltic languages. Despite foreign rule from the 13th to 20th centuries, the Latvian nation maintained its identity throughout the generations via the language and musical traditions. Latvia and Estonia share a long common history. As a consequence of the Soviet occupation, both countries are home to a large number of ethnic Russians (26.9% in Latvia and 25.5% in Estonia), some of whom are non-citizens. Latvia is historically predominantly Protestant Lutheran, except for the Latgale region in the southeast, which has historically been predominantly Roman Catholic.

Keywords: comic-book-shop, comic-hero, hero-versus-villain, south-africa, super-heroNews networks are reporting a serious incident during which a Russian surveillance aircraft was shot down near the coast of Latvia. NATO has mobilized over 50,000 troops in Europe but fears are growing that a nuclear confrontation is becoming inevitable. This is the US version featuring updates to reflect Trump as the new US President plus a few other small (but important) changes. This is a fictional dramatization and is not happening in fact.
New version released January 2017 - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZrKcxGhe5M Serious incident between NATO and Russian forces in the Baltic region reported, but a more larger strategic confrontation is under way. Russian invasion of Estonia and Latvia is being reported with significant Russian troops movements towards western Europe. This fictional dramatization is intended to present a scenario that is a real possibility in the near future and which represents an existential threat to us all. We hope to make people reflect on how prepared they are for such an eventuality, how much they rely on resources that are more fragile than we care to imagine, and how little say we all have in the decisions of military powers that do not speak for the will of the people of the world. This i...
In the early years of her life, Latvia’s former President Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga spent time as a refugee living in Nazi Germany, having fled Latvia when the Soviet army invaded. Her family eventually emigrated to Canada where she spent much of her working life before returning to Latvia after the break-up of the Soviet Union. This piece charts the life of the former president as she shares her views on the current security climate facing the Baltic States amid tensions with Russia. NATO is deploying four multinational battlegroups to the Baltics and Poland. The group to be based in Latvia will be led by the Canadians. Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga welcomes the news. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBS...

US President Donald Trump said that Russia interfered with the 2016 US election, speaking to journalists in a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw, Thursday. "I think it was Russia and I think it could have been other people and other countries. It could have been a lot of people interfered," Trump said, one day ahead of a scheduled sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg. The US President also slammed North Korea over recent missile tests, saying that ''something has to be done'' about Pyongyang's "very, very bad behaviour''. Trump is in Poland to attend the Three Seas Initiative Summit, a gathering of countries bordering the Adriatic, Baltic and Black Sea (Poland, Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Repu...

http://www.euronews.com/ This week, Business Planet is in Riga, the capital of Latvia, a country which suffered heavily from the global crisis. However, the economy is taking off again, and growth is expected to reach 4 to 5 percent next year. This is in part thanks to a business boom in recent years. Twenty-eight year old Gintz Ziverts is one of Latvia's success stories. After spending ten years in South-East Asia and Thailand, he decided to open Latvia's first Thai restaurant. It was an instant success. Today, Gintz employs seven people and makes twice as much as he had expected. He is thinking of opening up other Thai restaurants in Riga. "I was living in Bangkok, and I saw all the food and thought that this type of food and this way of living were missing in Latvia," says Gin...
Two years ago, Latvia was on the brink of bankruptcy. The government obtained loans from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, and in return had to undertake drastic financial cuts. Now the Latvian economy is on the upswing again.Times have been tough in Latvia. Wages and pensions were slashed, and schools let go half of their teaching staff. Now the painful measures are starting to pay off. Unemployment is still at 20 percent and investment remains low, but Riga is optimistic that the Latvian economy will return to growth in the second half of 2010. Some Latvians cite the years under Soviet rule, when the nation was forced to learn great patience and fortitude, as one of the reasons they were able to stay the course.
The European Union’s fastest GDP growth rate of over 4 per cent in 2013 and the recent adoption of the euro are not the only factors that make Latvia an attractive foreign direct investment destination. For example, Mexican CEMEX, one of the world's largest building materials suppliers and cement producers, chose Latvia almost a decade ago. "Through an analysis of the region and where the attractive markets were and also the markets where the talent pool of engineers is relevant, we decided that Latvia was a market to expand in. So in 2007, we took a decision to expand our manufacturing investing over €300 million," says Graham Russell, CEO, CEMEX Baltic Region. Today, the company has expanded to the other Baltic countries, Finland, Sweden and Russia. Alise Pīka, Deputy Head of the Inve...

Four students -- two Latvians and two Estonians -- are traveling around Latvian and Estonia to find out where Estonians and Latvians understand each other the best, what they can do together, to study and which stereotypes they need to come across. Film takes place near the Latvian - Estonian border and the students take a road that connects both countries. Along this road they meet people who are learning to be better neighbors in order to gain mutual benefits. In this road movie students meet Estonian and Latvian farmers that learn from each other and are ready to grow ecological products for restaurants across the countries; musicians that perform together, playing their own traditional instruments; children and youngsters that are connected by motoring as on the Estonian, so on the Lat...

For travellers, the best thing about Latvia is that it is so compact. Its 500 km of sandy beaches are easily reached from historical towns, where medieval hanseatic foundations support baroque and art nouveau buildings, that become venues for cultural festivals during the summer. Families of storks happily give their seal of approval to the unspoilt nature, fresh air and clean water around them. In addition to Riga, its spectacular gateway, there are 6 other UNESCO world heritage listed sites. A trading hub for over 800 years, it is well versed in welcome. With such a variety, Latvia is best enjoyed slowly. Latvia, the pearl of the Baltic States, is one of the European Union member states and is situated in the North of Europe -- on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Since ancient times Latv...

Health Care in Latvia from "International Health Care Systems". After independence in 1991, Latvia started to create a social health insurance type system. However, problems with decentralised planning, fragmented and inefficient financing led to this being gradually reversed, and finally the establishment of a National Health Service type system in 2011. The most important source of revenue for the health system is the general tax system, although the share of government spending on health has been decreasing contributing only around 60% of total health expenditure. Since 2007, the percentage of premature CVD death cases (before reaching the age of 64) has been decreasing each year (26% in the year 2006; 20% in the year 2012). The mortality rate has also decreased, while in 2012 it reache...

For the next round of selection, all candidates are required to submit a medical examination.

"My first thought after receiving an email from MarsOne about the medical examination was -- it's very simple. I was quite sure that I would meet all of the medical criteria. But then it came on me that its not for THEM to check my health - its for ME to learn as much about my body as possible. So, I decided to take medical examination as serious as would a real astronaut. I started to look at who could actually do it in Latvia. And I found a leading private medical institution: Capital Clinic, who kindly offered to make all medical ex...

Still undiscovered by the tourism masses, this sizzling Baltic sexpot is poised to become the continent's next A-list star. A country in transition, hellbent on shedding its stalwart old-Soviet image, the Latvia of today is vibrant, enigmatic and altogether mesmerising. Refreshingly unpretentious, Latvia manages to tantalise even the most jaded traveller. Many arrive expecting little and leave overwhelmed, certain they've uncovered long-buried treasure.

Take a tour of Historic Town of Riga in Riga, Latvia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Riga is Latvia's capital, largest city, and a center of commerce and culture. It is a truly exceptional place with a unique and distinctive culture and atmosphere.

The fascinating capitals of Finland and Estonia offer a chance to sample each country's history, art, and distinct love of life.

We’re at the Freedom Monument, which is a memorial to all the Latvian people who died during the Latvian War of Independence. It’s a really majestic monument, and I love the detailed statues there as well. Today, it’s a really important symbol of freedom for Latvian people. Behind me is the another lovelock bridge. We’ve seen quite a few of these around Europe, and while Nathan doesn’t really see the point, I think they’re really romantic.
