The '''Baltic States''' are [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]]. All were annexed into the [[Soviet Union]] in 1940, and finally regained their independence in 1991. All three countries joined [[NATO]] at the same time in 2004. Since 1989, the population of Estonia has fallen from 1.55m to 1.33m, Latvia from 2.67m to 1.89m and Lithuania from 3.67m to 2.81m. Viewed as a whole, the Baltic population has fallen from a high of 7.89m in 1989 to today’s figure of 6.03m representing a drop of over 23%, yet the countries their people have left are prime real estate for NATO in its quest for [[European]] supremacy.
