About Baltics

The Baltic states or the Baltic countries is a geopolitical term encompassing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. All three countries are members of NATO, the European Union, the Eurozone, the Baltic Assembly, and the OECD. The three sovereign states on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea are sometimes referred to as the "Baltic nations", less often and in historical circumstances also as the "Baltic republics", the "Baltic lands", or simply the Baltics.

As a result, you cannot expend the resources required to fully conquer the archipelago, given its geographical and weather and nightmarish difficulty of doing so. Then it's too embarrassing to leave the bit that you have conquered. Then that's almost untenable because your entire coastline from Cornwall to Carlisle and across to Newcastle is just vulnerable to these unending incessant raids by these lunatics. Then the North Coast exposed to the unconquered Baltics and stuff. It's a nightmare. When did they, was it like 300s?
