There is a link to a page that describes the Latvian citizenship (language) test. Do you think you could do all it requires to pass and obtain Latvian citizenship?

Where the hell is this so called, "Lativa"?

 

[TheAlamo]

It's one of the unibrow countries in Eastern Europe.

Why doesn't Latvia just let Russia govern them? Would make things simpler.

Oh, oh! I still don't see it...

Do you have to be a citizen to see this country on a map?

 

[Perfection]

Yes I could.

Ever read Holes?

Well only 1/4 of the population is Russian.

Most Americans (68%) struggle to identify America on the world map. I'm not sure where I read this statistic but it sounds legit.

 

[Harvin87]

completely legit. It's sad when the worlds #1 superpower has this type of issues.

 

[Mad Man]

I would pass with flying colors since all you have to do is count backwards from ten.

No, and I'm proud of the fact

Most Americans (68%) struggle to identify America on the world map. I'm not sure where I read this statistic but it sounds legit.

Why the hell would I need to know where the rest of the world is when I already live in the #1 country? USA USA USA!

Anyhoo, I actually managed to find it, after hours and hours of careful study, I realized what I typed into Wikipedia was a tragic misspelling.

 

[Mise]

It's only got 6 letters!

 

[Joecoolyo]

I was spelling it Lativa rather than Latvia.

You also have to remember I was doing this at 12 in the morning...

 

[DinoDoc]

Is this the country ruled by Victor von Doom?

 

[Shekwan]

You guys have seriously never heard of Latvia?

Most Americans (68%) struggle to identify America on the world map. I'm not sure where I read this statistic but it sounds legit.

I bet a similarly high percentage could be found in European countries.

Although it probably wouldn't be as high, American culture does have an isolationist streak.

 

[Mise]

I'll be honest, I made the 68% number up.

After a quick google, it's actually 11%, according to a 2002 survey: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2496427.stm

If English is the national language of Latvia, then I should pass such a described test quite well. If not,...oh poo.
