Latvia is a country in Northern Europe. The capital is Riga. It is one of the Baltic States, together with Estonia in the north and Lithuania in the south. Latvia's neighbours to the east are the countries Russia and Belarus. Latvia is split into four parts called Kurzeme, Vidzeme, Zemgale, and Latgale.
People from Latvia are called Latvians. They speak the Latvian language, which is a little like the Lithuanian language, though not close enough to be understood.
History.
Latvia was part of the Soviet Union between 1940 and 1991, when it became an independent country again.
Politics.
Latvia was invited to join the European Union at a decision made in Copenhagen on 13 December 2002, together with nine other European countries. On 20 September 2003 66.9% of the Latvians voted in support of joining, and on 1 May 2004 Latvia became a member of the EU. Latvia has been a NATO member since 29 March, 2004.
