🇱🇹 Lituanie

Lithuania (ISO code LT) is the largest of the three Baltic states, bordering Latvia, Belarus, Poland, the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and the Baltic Sea. It is a parliamentary republic and a member of the EU, NATO and the eurozone. The climate is temperate-continental with cold winters and mild summers. The economy is diversified, with strengths in industry, information technology, transport and logistics. Lithuania is a central transit corridor between Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, above all through the ice-free deep-sea port of Klaipeda. The logistics infrastructure comprises this seaport, the cargo airports of Vilnius and Kaunas, the road network (Via Baltica) and rail links that are being connected to the European standard-gauge network through Rail Baltica. The national currency is the euro. The geostrategic location on the EU external border offers hub opportunities but also geopolitical risks from sanctions and border controls.
