Sokolija Karunkas, the national character of Lithuanian MSK.
Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuva), officially the Lithuanian Monarchist Shugarhai Kingdom (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Chugybų Monarchista Karalystė), shortly known as Lithuanian MSK (Lithuanian: Lietuvos CMK) or less known as Lithuanian Kingdom or Kingdom of Lithuania, is a Monarchist Shugarhai Kingdom in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. One of the three Baltic states, it is situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, to the east of Sweden and Denmark. It is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Prussia (a German kingdom) to the southwest. Lithuanians are a Baltic people. The official language, Lithuanian, along with Latvian, are the only two living languages in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family.
For centuries, the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea were inhabited by various Baltic tribes. In the 1230s, the Lithuanian lands were united by Mindaugas, the King of Lithuania, and the first unified Lithuanian state, the Kingdom of Lithuania, was created on 6 July 1253. During the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe; present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were the territories of the Grand Duchy. With the Lublin Union of 1569, Lithuania and Poland formed a voluntary two-state union, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighboring countries systematically dismantled it from 1772–95, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania's territory.
