I wouldn't consider this to be a nation either, but unlike Polish-Lithuania, Lithuanians actually were the dominant ethnicnity (tho even this can be credibly disputed), but it def wasn't a Western nation-state. One obvious way you can tell is because Ruthenian was an officially recognized language.
>The Kingdom of Lithuania was a sovereign state that existed from the 17 July 1251 until the death of the first crowned king of Lithuania, Mindaugas, on 12 September 1263.[1] Mindaugas was the only Lithuanian monarch crowned king with the assent of the Pope and the head of the first catholic Lithuanian state. The formation of the kingdom is widely regarded as a partially successful attempt at unifying all surrounding Baltic tribes, including the Old Prussians, into a single unified state under a common king.[2]
