Have you ever been to any of Kazakhstan, Latvia, Nepal or Turkmenistan? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date#Gregorian.2C_yea...

I can assure you that Latvia does not use YYYY-DD-MM. Officially Latvia is using ISO 8601. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Usage
I’d update the Wikipedia article but don’t have time to go digging for official sources. Something you (or someone else with domain knowledge) could do?
I've been to Latvia many times in last few years, but haven't noticed YYYY-DD-MM format, maybe it's historical? It looks like DD.MM.YYYY was the most common format there (at least on posters).
Japan and Denmark use this format.
