Latvia celebrates 100 years in 2018. Latvia is larger than many European countries such Croatia, Slovakia, Estonia, Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Luxembourg and Malta. It's a Northern European country nestled between Estonia and Lithuania on the shore of the Baltic Sea, also known as the Amber Sea. The territory of Latvia (24,900 square miles) is inhabited by ~ 2 million people, which puts Latvia among the smaller European countries in terms of population. The largest ethnic group are Latvians (~ 62%), followed by Russians (~25.4%) and other national minorities such as Ukrainians, Belarusians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Polish and many others. The Latvian language is the sole official language and it is one of the most ancient European languages. Together with Lithuanian, Latvian forms the Baltic branch of the Indo-European group of languages. Riga - the capital  Latvia is an open economy and part of the single largest common market in the world. In 2014, Latvia joined the common European currency - the euro. In 2016, Latvia joined the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Latvia is among the fastest growing economies in the European Union. Learn more about the Statistics of Latvia.  Latvia is one of Europe's most picturesque countries with 12,310 rivers and over 3,000 lakes with many opportunities for boating and hiking and just enjoying the outdoors. There are many small medieval towns, country castles, museums and folk parks to be visited. Although Latvia occupies only a small territory, the variety of its nature is large. Along picturesque riverbanks the uncovered basic strata form cliffs and crags in which the water has carved caves. Numerous lakes sparkle at the bottom of hills. The forests covering almost half of the territory and waters are full of wildlife.
