Latvia

Latvia (Russian: Латвия, Latviya) is a minor character in Countryballs.

Overview
Latvia looks like a ball with eyes. It is a cloth of three horizontal stripes - carmine, white and again carmine.

Appearance
Latvia first appears in "French fries". He was a client of McDonald's. When it was his turn, he went to the cash register and bought the last portion of French fries. But Latvia did not manage to eat calmly. Belarus and Ireland also really wanted to taste free and when they learned that Latvia took the last one, they attacked it. An ordinary fight turned into a bloody battle between three sides. The battle did not reveal the winners, as a portion of freeze burned in battle, and Belarus, Latvia and Ireland were injured. Soon China came to the scene of the massacre in a truck, the body of which was filled with potatoes, but soon got scared and left. The hapless trio ran after him.

In "Russia got lost", he was resting in the meadow and drinking tea with potatoes. Belarus saw his "picnic." He recalled him to "talk" in a dark alley and erased Latvia's face with solvent. It turned out that Latvia himself is a potato.

In "The worst nightmare of Belarus", he wore a bandage with which he bandaged half of his face. Together with Ireland and Belarus, he watched Bulbasaur Boris and the Giant Colorado beetle. When Belarus shouted to Boris not to go there, Latvia pulled Belarus after himself.

In "Brotherhood", he was in a hospital with Switzerland, which treated his injured face. Belarus visited him and apologized for that solvent case. At this point, Germany grew to a huge size, turning into an Empire and began to destroy the city. Latvia and Belarus went to look for Ireland. They visited Great Britain and asked where he is, but he replied that he didn't know. They still found him and, despite their dislike for each other, became friends and created the "Starch Brotherhood" against the tyranny of Reichtangle.

In "First rebuff", Belarus presented his "Bulbathrower-3000" to Latvia and in return dug up Bulbasaur Boris. Before the fight with Reichtangle, Latvia stressed that "Starch Brotherhood" is an idiotic name before their team Trinity saddled Boris and went to fight. However, neither the Bulbathrower-3000 or Ireland's magical clover could damage Reichtangle. The trio looked at the death of Boris with regret, and soon left the battlefield.

In "5 minutes", Latvia, alongside Belarus and Ireland went to Russia's house after they got an urgent call. They later got mineral water from the store and gave it to Russia. Latvia then asks how Russia summoned them.

Characteristics
The personality of Latvia is very similar to that of Belarus. Latvia is a calm, patient and very friendly country, ready to help his friends. Like Belarus and Ireland, he loves potatoes. In "French fries", these three are shown by sworn enemies ready to kill each other for a portion of French fries. Latvia is brave and militant, but at the same time, likes to relax on a picnic and have fun, as shown in "Russia got lost". Latvia is not very touchy and knows how to forgive, in "Brotherhood", he forgave Belarus for crippling his face with solvent. And since then, Latvia, Ireland and Belarus have become very close friends. The trinity even founded the "Starch Brotherhood" community.

Trivia

 * Latvia's robot transformer was given a redesign. In "French fries", his robot transformer originally had a European Union badge in the middle of it. This was later removed in "5 minutes".
