Latvījas Rebpublīkas


Flag Description:
three horizontal bands of maroon (top), white (half-width), and maroon


The Latvīja s Republikas is one of the defiant Baltic States. Occupied sequentially by the Nazis and then by the Soviet, Latvīja  stood defiant unwilling to bend to the iron fist of one occupier or another. In 1991, they gained their freedom from the Soviet Bloc and have not looked back since. I have been to Latvīja  many times and I can not say that it is all fun and games.
