I'm sad to admit how long it took me to remember that Latvija is a real country and that Dr. Doom rules Latveria. Apparently a common enough misconception that English Wikipedia has a "Not to be confused with" on the fictional country's page.
Anyway, my sincere apologies for the American education system and for America in general. Welcome to Lemmy World, I hope the Latvijan community finds it a friendly and fun place to hang out and that your new community enjoys great success!
