    Default History of Latvian administrative division chaos

    It is just about first stage division, the division goes deeper and deeper

    Latvian administrative division to 2009 was quite solid, each municipality was similar size, not too big not too small just right



    But what happenned in 2009? Well it was overcomplicated into 110 municipalities and 9 cities giving 119 local governments which is still officially the actual division



    Thank God in 2020 there was agreement to separate the county less into bigger areas so since the 1st July 2021 there will be division with 42 local governments




    The question is, does Latvia which is quite small country needs to be split into 42 local governments if it could work with 26 in 2009
    As well historically and culturally it was divided into Courland, Latgalia, Vidzeme, Semigalia, some also mention Selonia

    Edit:
    Regarding statistics Latvia is divide to Riga, area surrounding Riga, Courland, Latgalia, Vidzeme and Semigalia
    Why Latvia can't do so? Maybe I'm dumb but I don't see point to divide that country that much

    hope to visit Latvia someday, one of my favourite countries, so to speak, because of a few novels of Latvian writers I've read and because of Latvians keeping the most hunter gatherer and steppe genes, each and combined, being a sort of a relic population.

    for their population and size the administrative break-down is ridiculous indeed, they should follow traditional regions.

    I think EU is quite against following traditional regions, in Romania the administrative divisions make no sense either and are called like North, South etc cucked nation
