Country in which fictional killer Hannibal Lecter was born (9)

I believe the answer is:

lithuania

(Other definitions for lithuania that I've seen before include "Baltic country" , "Foreign place-name" , "European country, capital Vilnius" , "land" , "Baltic state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
