Republika Latvija je majhna država, ki meri 64.589 kvadratnih km. V
njej prebiva 2,3 milijona ljudi. Prvega maja leta 2004 je postala
polnopravna članica Evropske unije. Glavno mesto je Riga, ki šteje okoli 800.000 prebivalcev. Je pomembno pristanišče in cvetoči industrijski in kulturni center.
Latvija je bila od nekdaj svetovljanska država. Latvijski jezik je materni jezik samo tretjine ljudi. Latvijcev je 59%, Rusov 28,3%, Belorusov 3,7%, Ukrajincev 2,5%, Poljakov 2,4% in še nekaj drugih narodnosti. V Latviji prevladujejo luterani (24%), rimokatoliki (18%), največ pa je ateistov (35%). Pokrajina je pretežno ravninska, saj se lahko pohvali samo z nekaj hribi, o gorah pa sploh ne moremo govoriti. Najvišja vzpetina meri 311m. 40% države pokrivajo mešani gozdovi: med iglavci rastejo ogromni hrasti, breze in trepetlike. Gozdovi so ena najlepših naravnih znamenitosti, še posebej jeseni.
V Latviji najdemo veliko rek in jezer. Jezer je več kot tri tisoč. Pokrajini Latgale na V države pravijo tudi Dežela modrih rek.
Latvija ima zmerno podnebje. Povprečna temperatura poleti je 16 stopinj Celzija, opoldne pa lahko živo srebro doseže tudi do 30 stopinj Celzija. Latvijske zime so mrzle. Decembra temperature padejo tudi pod –24 stopinj Celzija, povprečje pa se giblje okrog -5 stopinj Celzija. Sneg tla prekriva skoraj tri mesece. V povprečju ima Latvija čez leto 70 sončnih in 180 deževnih dni.
V Latviji so šoloobvezni otroci od dopolnjenega 7. do 16. leta.
Otroci lahko obiskujejo zasebne ali državne šole. V enem razredu je
lahko do 34 učencev. LATVIJA The Republic of Latvia was founded on November 18, 1918. It has been continuously recognized as a sovereign state since 1920 despite occupations and rule by the Soviet Union (1940-1941, 1945-1991) and Nazi Germany (1941-1945). On August 21, 1991 Latvia declared the restoration of its de facto independence, re-established international diplomatic ties, and joined the United Nations. Latvia joined the WTO in 1998 and in 2004 became a member of the European Union and NATO. Latvia is the central country of the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and is located in North-eastern Europe on the east coast of the Baltic Sea. It consists of fertile lowland plains and moderate hills, with most of its territory less than 100 metres above sea level. It has an extensive network of rivers, thousands of lakes and hundreds of kilometres of undeveloped seashore lined by pine forests, dunes, and continuous white sand beaches. With over 44 percent of its territory covered by forests, a vast network of free flowing rivers and thousands of lakes, Latvia is one of Europe’s best preserved havens for a wide variety of wildlife. Latvians are the indigenous people of Latvia, and the Finno-Ugric Livs (or Livonians) are the only indigenous minority. Latvia’s present ethnic mix is largely a result of massive post-war immigration, which resulted in a decline in the share of ethnic Latvians from 77% in 1935 to 52% in 1989. Latvian is a Baltic language that belongs to the Indo-European language family. Its only linguistic relative is Lithuanian, and is considered to be among the oldest and least changed of all living Indo-European languages in the world. It is estimated that 1,5 million people worldwide use Latvian as their primary language. English and Russian are widely spoken throughout Latvia, while German, French and the Scandinavian languages are also frequently heard.

Latvia’s political, economic and culture centre is in Ri-ga, where more than one third of Latvia’s population (713 thousand) lives and works. Ri-ga’s elegant Old Town and distinctive Art Nouveau architecture serve as a stimulating setting for a vibrant modern business and cultural life. Founded in 1201, this former Hanseatic League member is one of the oldest medieval cities in Europe and has been listed by UNESCO as one of the world’s most important cultural and natural sites. in 1201, this former Hanseatic League member is one of the oldest medieval cities in Europe and has been listed by UNESCO as one of the world’s most important cultural and natural sites. In Latvia, celebration of the summer solstice is oldest and most
beloved traditional holiday. The nearly three-day long midsummer fest
concludes on June 24th, the day known to Latvians as
‘Ja-n,i’. Most leave the cities to gather with family and
friends around thousands of bonfires, where special foods, beverages,
songs, dances and rituals celebrate the movement of the setting and
rising of the midnight sun. Area: 64,589 sq.km or 24,937 sq.miles. Regions:Kurzeme, Zemgale, Vidzeme, Latgale. Total national border length:1,862 km. Length of Latvia's Baltic coastline:494 km.
