Kingdom of Lithuania

The Kingdom of Lithuania was the state of Lithuania from its foundation as a state in the late 9th Century until its transition into a Republic in 1895.

Lithuania is remarkable for being the only nation in Europe to have never renounced its pagan ethnic religion, instead becoming a 'Champion of Paganism' by way of alliances with local powers hostile toward Christian Europe such as Russian and the Great Heathen Empire.

Lithuania was regarded as the bastion of "Old Europe", lying in the borderlands with the East, but belonging neither to the West nor to Asia.
