Lithuanians call their flat country the amber land; it mines much of the world's supply of this unique golden material. Its language retains many aspects of its ancient Indo-European languages. The republic's population, 80% Lithuanian, is predominantly Roman Catholic. After resisting Germanic invaders in the 13th century, Lithuania emerged as a grand duchy joined to Poland through the Lublin Union in 1569. In the 15th century it was a major power of central Europe, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Russia ruled the Lithuanians after partition of Poland in 1795. The nation gained independence following WW1 but was forcibly annexed by USSR in 1940. Lithuania declared independence on March 11, 1990. The economy is based on livestock raising and manufacturing.
