Editing Pirates of the Baltic Sea (section)

===Lithuania===

The southernmost of the Baltic states, with close to three million people. Lithuania has 99 kilometres (61.5 miles) of sandy coastline, only about 38 kilometres (24 miles) of which face the open Baltic Sea, less than the other two Baltic states. The rest of the coast is sheltered by the Curonian sand peninsula. Lithuania's major warm-water port, Klaipėda, lies at the narrow mouth of the Curonian Lagoon, a shallow lagoon extending south to Kaliningrad. The country's main and largest river, the Nemunas River, and some of its tributaries carry international shipping.

While Lithuania is a reasonably safe country for an average person, with strong law enforcement and little violent crime, Lithuanian cybercriminals are notorious for their skill, and visiting Buccaneer vessels are advised to make sure that their security systems are up to date. But if a Buccaneer crew is on a job involving electronic data or information technology security, some go out of their way to hire a Lithuanian hacker along on the job.

The three most important fields of export in Lithuania are Agricultural products and food, chemical products and plastics, and machinery and appliances. Most of the exports are transported by land, with mainly just Sweden and Germany receiving shipments by sea.
Information technology, particularly financial technology, is also a major source of income for Lithuania, although the IT security of the corporations is in a constant struggle with local hackers.

====Vilnius====

Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania and its largest city, with a population of close to 750 000 in the metropolitan area. Vilnius lies far inland, 312 km (194 miles) from the Baltic Sea. Few Buccaneers visit the city unless they have specific business there. Which they sometimes do. Vilnius has one of the fastest internet speeds in the world, and it is said that the best hackers in the Baltic area can be found here.

====Klaipėda====

Klaipėda is the third largest city of Lithuania and has the country’s only seaport. Close to 250 000 people live in the city and environs, and many large corporations have a presence in the Klaipėda Free Economic Zone, in the eastern part of the city.

====Navy====

Lithuania had the smallest Navy of the Baltic states, with just three mine ships and four patrol boats. These days, most of their naval services are provided by Triton mercenaries, just like those of other Baltic states.  They only kept three auxiliary ships. A Coast Guard cutter, a sea rescue vessel and a tug with icebreaker capabilities - although the capability sees little use these days. Lithuanian ships mainly provide assistance to ships in distress, with all the aggressive duties handled by Triton.

Buccaneer wisdom on Lithuanian Navy: “Except for the mercs, this bunch is actually a welcome sight if you are in trouble.”
