So, your mission, should you decide to accept it is this:
Have a state that comprises the different Baltic peoples arise in the Middle Ages and survive to the present day.
Requirements: The state must be 'lead' by a Baltic people (i.e. No having Poland conquer everything and say "mission accomplished!")
The state need not be Christian - though this will probably help its survival, I would assume.
Follow up question: how would the culture and economies of the OTL Baltic region be different if it was united by a single state from an early era.
(on a personal note; I'm creating this AHC rather blind, as I don't know a ton about the region during this era. Should anyone want to suggest a good book on the Medieval Baltic peoples, I would be very much appreciate it!)
Give the Teutonic Order and the Livonian Order a wank, unite the two officially and centralise, let Protestant reformation take its course, reform to monarchy under a Latvian King. Riga becomes a much more important city.
Now we just need to figure out how the hell this happens. Maybe have the battle of Grunwald turn out disastrous for the Polish and start from there.
EDIT: oh neat, someone has done our work for us.
