Country Details
Lithuania, the southern-most Baltic state, was once a powerful force in medieval Europe.
In modern times it suffered from the tragic impact of a German invasion during World War II, and the almost 60 years of failed Communist rule.
When the former Soviet Union collasped in 1991, it finally gained its independence.
Lithuania is slowly adapting to western economic policies, and its economy, though changing, still depends on a strong agricultural base.
The Lithuania maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
