The country has a population of less than two million people. Over 50% of Latvia's land area is covered by forests, which explains its strong timber industry and overall wealth in wood-related trade.

Latvia gained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The official and most widely spoken language is Latvian, one of the oldest languages in Europe.
