As a latvian im not saying there should be one baltic state… **but im not, not saying that**

Ngl, it looks great, but I am fine with things they are.
TIL. I always assumed that coat of arms was Polish because of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth flag that was always presented in Polish nationalistic contex.
Congrats to you guys for getting freedom from Russian and Polish oppression.
I will be silently suporting “to join” from far away.
Estonia+Latvia+Lithuania, the 3-country group, doesn’t have some common ethno-linguistic, historical or cultural background. Only 2 (Latvia and Lithuania) of them are ethno-linguistically Baltic and another group of 2 (Estonia and Latvia) share much history and culture. The grouping exists mostly in the minds of ignorant outsiders.
That horse looks pretty pissed
This is only Latvia and Lithuania right? No Estonian part that I can recognise. Of course on some level it makes total sense to [only include the Balts/Baltic peoples](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balts), as Estonians are Finnic.
Edit, ah right, just noticed our coat of arms as shield carried by the knight-dude.
