Northeastern Europe is a compromise terminology to refer to the Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Due to their recent history as former Soviet Republics they were sometimes viewed as a part of the former communist Eastern Europe. But there are many reasons to see the Baltic countries as a part of Northern Europe. Culturally and historically the Baltic States have mainly been influenced by Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Poland and Germany. They belong to the Baltic Sea Region.
United Nations classifies the Baltic states as Northern European.
