Where it is
Lithuania is grouped in Northern Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 4 countries in this atlas: Belarus, Latvia, Poland, Russia. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Lithuania has a recorded area of 65,300 square kilometres. Among the 10 countries assigned to Northern Europe in this dataset, it ranks 7 by area, from largest to smallest. Ireland is immediately above it in that ordering, at 70,273 km². Latvia is immediately below it, at 64,559 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 2,888,774 people for Lithuania in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 44 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Lithuanian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Euro (EUR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
