Which one among the following is not a Baltic nation ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The term 'Baltic states' specifically refers to the three countries located on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These nations share a unique geopolitical history, having been part of the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union before regaining independence [2]. While the broader 'Baltic Sea Region' can sometimes include countries within the sea's drainage basin like Slovakia or the Czech Republic in a strictly hydrological sense, these are geographically classified as Central European and landlocked [t2][t8]. Slovakia does not have a coastline on the Baltic Sea and is not considered one of the Baltic nations [t1][t7]. In contrast, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are the core members of this group, often characterized by their shared security policies and synchronization of electricity grids [t8].
