Lithuania is a parliamentary republic located in Northern Europe. It is bordered by Latvia to the north, by Belarus to the east, and by Russia and Poland to the south. It has a small, northern coastline on the Baltic Sea. It was part of the Soviet Republic until its dissolution in 1991, the year in which the country gained independence. It is divided administratively into 10 counties and 60 municipalities; it is a member of the EU and NATO.

Lithuania covers a total area of 65,200 km², occupying a small part of the North European Plain; it has vast woodlands in the east and the climate is very harsh, especially in winter, with snow covering the land for an average of 80 days of the year.

The total population numbers 3,323,611, according to 2012 estimates, and has a Lithuanian majority with Lithuanian being the official language; there are also Russian, Polish and Belarusian minority groups. The capital, Vilnius, is situated in the south east and is the most populated city. The local currency is the Lithuanian Litas.

The main economic resources are the advanced manufacturing industries (petrochemical, textiles, food, paper and computers); other notable activities are tourism and the extraction of timber from the abundant forests.
