As Lithuania has a relatively low profile on the international stage, you might not be that familiar with much of its history and culture.
Although vodka is a very popular drink throughout Central and Eastern Europe, the version made from corn was first distilled in Lithuania.
For example, you may be surprised to learn that the name Lithuania goes back over a thousand years and that it was the largest country in Europe during part of the 14th century.
It was also the first country to formally declare its independence from the Soviet Union during its breakup in the 1990s.
