Well, why Latvia ? ​For those of you who do not know it already, here are some fast facts ; ​ Latvia is a part of the European Union and a Schengen Zone country. Latvia is also the member of NATO, the name that has been heard over the news millions of times a day, nowadays. Thanks to Russia for making the world aware of it. This membership is a huge security boost for this small country by the Baltic sea. It is neighbor to some major powerhouse economies like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Latvia's population within Latvia is quite small, around 1.8 million. However, many Latvian citizens are pretty spread out, working and living in other EU countries with a significant numbers in the UK and Ireland. Latvians are settled even all the way in Canada. Latvia is home to a high percentage of educated bilingual or even trilingual and young work force, with lower wages. As such, it is somewhat of a back office for some major larger Scandinavian countries. Something similar to what India is in terms of a service outsource point to the world. Customer care centers, administrative support, fintech, I-gaming and the likes are fast mushrooming here in Latvia, setup by huge companies in Europe.
