I'm inquiring as to whether, of all places, Latvia is still around. I see it in the infrastructure of NPC post, but not in the NPC Nations thread, nor on the list of available countries. Did Lithuiania or possibly Russia annex it? I ask as I have interest in playing, but don't have the free time on a constant basis to play a larger county. I see Czechoslovakia and Hungary as free, but neither have any sea access, and I REALLY prefer naval interests to army/air force. While I'm well aware of the limitations of small countries and building fleets/armies/air corps (I play NUS, basically Grand Argentina, in Navalism) I think I would enjoy the challenge. Plus, with all that's occuring in that section of the world at this time, I think it would be fun to sit back and watch from the front row, I even brought my own popcorn, lol.
