Because of the economical crisis and very bad social situation in Latvia, few days ago there appealed a
petition to the Government of Sweden, created by a regular student like a form of protest and expression of discontent.
It says:
We, people of Latvia would like to ask Sweden to occupy Latvia. We consider that Latvian state has no reason to exist. We would like to become Swedish citizens and promise that we will comply with Swedish laws; in exchange we would like to get Swedish citizenship and share the same rights that Swedish people have.
This actually shows how bad Latvia is these days. So don't expect many tourists coming there...
