You really should milk the Latvian flag story for another comic. Pair it up with Austria's as the origin legends are allmost the same but yet have important differences highlighting some of the nation's mentalities.
The Austrian legend is a very much classical heroic story of a great noble fighting a glorous battle and finding his white shirt all soaked in enemy blood but for a while line in the middle where his sword belt was. He used the shirt as a banner in the next battle and was victorious again.
The Latvian story is about a great hero being mortally wounded in a battle and laid on a table where he bled out from the uncountable cuts he sustained in that battle. The white cloth he laid on was soaked blood read but for a narrow stripe in the middle, where the hero laid. His tribesman took the sheet as a banner to the next battle against the invaders and crushed them.
It really highlights how melancholic beyond any reason Latvians are and how we revel in it.
