Good for Baltic

As in Moder times Baltic countrys(latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) have left at secong stage, why would they become a great power in AltHistory?

My idea: Not Latvia or Estonia seperate, but together. I 100% don't get the main view of things happened AltHistory, so someone could mail me what's doomsday main happenings, plus after it and aftermath. And what is the total world population these days?

So, Baltic nation. It would consist of states: [sorry got to go. i will complete this in short time]
