'''Latvia''' is one of the Baltic States, located on the [[Baltic Sea]]. It borders [[Russia]], [[Estonia]] and [[Lithuania]]. It is a small country with a population of under 3 million people (though many people of Latvian descent live in the United States and Australia). Latvia has a negative population growth rate, meaning that the number of people in the country is getting smaller each year.
