Have you ever been to any Baltic country?

Your argument is coming across as vaguely racist and appears to be based on nothing but the divisions imposed between the second and first world.

All 4 of them (if you count Poland, counting Finland or Sweden would be even harder). Here is a Latvian joke about Estonia: "no sex or future in Estonia". I have been in pretty much any European country, minus Portugal. No idea where the racism idea comes from, though.

There are only 3 Baltic countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_states), Neither Poland, Finland nor Sweden are Baltic.
Well that's the joke. Other than that I find Gdansk more similar to Riga than Warsaw.
