>to 16th (18th) century
The Grand Duchy did not agree to the (incredibly unfavorable) Union of Lublin out of suffering from being too cool, powerful and influential. It was doing not well at all for a very long time already.
Estonia will typically have more relevance due to sharing some spotlight with Sweden and Finland, and the other two being buried in the pressed ballsacks of Poland and Russia. Ironically they are all toggled at 33.3% shared cultural relevance output with the remaining 0.1% shared between them on a yearly rotation, this amounts to a total cultural relevance slightly below that of Uganda.
Extreme cope. There were more Lithuanian kings of Poland than vice versa. The biggest magnates in the commonwealth were Lithuanians. The biggest percentage of nobility having population was Samogitia. Zmudzins won.

poles aren't slavs anyway so what's your guys' point?
Estonia feels pretty cool and what I imagine Baltics would be like. Estonia just feels like it tried to copy Austria's flag but it's not as cool, burgundy is a great colour though but it doesn't work. Lithunian just looks like a flag I'd expect to see some place in Africa to have.
What do you mean culturally? If in general sense speaking then us(Latvians) at the moment have some famous Opera singers, conductors.
If you mean by literature? Then not much. All our most famous works are 19/20 century national romanticism.
We have our Epic poetry work "Lāčplēsis". And we have Dainas ancient traditional form of music or poetry.
It's pretty hard to generate significant works of classics if you have been serf for 7 centuries.
what is culture even. why should it be taken seriously
better to ask what emanatory artifacts are in the Baltics.
what magi and prophets of before have impressed unto subtle garments
let's take one example. Johann Georg Hamann lived in Riga. and he went on long pilgrimage vigils to the sea. passing through my neighbourhood, hermetically restoring the primal image. its vibratory pattern. making open logos but that which precedes it. landscapes as culture yes. trees. mud. books are stuffed with vermin. they are too historical. too human reason.
Can people like you at least try to phrase things in a reasonable way or does studying esoterica permanently destroy your ability to reason or process language?
I'm bracing for a head in the clouds condescending remark that ultimately says nothing.
yes, permanently. that is part of the price one has to pay.
I'm saying that 'culture' is a wrong alleyway. next thing you are to compare 'relevancy' by nobel prize champions. it is damnable.
to me the fact that Hamann walked somewhere near, and even walking now, as time is an illusion, gives enough spiritual sustanance and joyful attitude.
in Lithuania there was Vilna Gaon. another magical personality.
>I'm bracing for a head in the clouds condescending remark that ultimately says nothing.
that is your cynicism speaking. anyway, to say nothing is the best thing, if done in a good will.
>which is more relevant
Out of three, probably Lithuania, only because it has the largest population but compared to other countries the Baltics are almost irrelevant. Culturally speaking, there is 1.3 million people in Estonia, 25% are russian, probably similar amount of russians in Latvia, there are more people who speak russian in Latvia than people who Latvian. Lithuania supposedly have less russians (but the statistics may be inncurate because after 1991 they gave them Lithuanian passports and made them full citizens), there also many Poles and belarussians in Lithuania.
The modern culture in Baltics today is closer to russian 'culture' than central European culture, let alone western Europe.
50 years of russian occupation almost completely destroyed any semblance of civilised society. Many older and middle aged people are vatniks, many are alcoholics, even young people born after 2000 still behave and think like some russian garbage.
I think Lithuania, because it was a regional superpower from the 14th century to 16th (18th) century.

Each have their strengths
We are completely irrelevant and maybe that's for the best

Lithuania literally ruled the slavs for centuries.
Cope. The Poles were the real rulers in the Commonwealth.
Only beginning from 1569. Until then it was Lithuania.
Extreme cope. There were more Lithuanian kings of Poland than vice versa. The biggest magnates in the commonwealth were Lithuanians. The biggest percentage of nobility having population was Samogitia. Zmudzins won.

Lithuania's flag is very ugly. Estonia's flag is top 5. And Latvia is just meh.
So Estonia wins.

>Estonia just feels like it tried to copy Austria's flag
It's Latvia.
Estonia’s flag is really cool
>What is more relevant to cuisine, fingernail clippings or boogers?
whichever one has the most big chungus fan fiction
The writers of Disco Elysium are Estonian 🙂
Is it true that Andrei from The Unstranslated is Latvian?
Lithuania
pic rel is Adam Mickiewicz
>inb4 he was polish
He literally called lithuania his homeland.

Yeah because these countries were so relevant before the Russian occupation.
