Jonava () is the ninth largest city in Lithuania with a population of c. 30,000.
It is located in Kaunas County in central Lithuania, 30 km (19 mi) north east of Kaunas, the second-largest city in Lithuania. It is served by Kaunas International Airport. Achema, the largest fertilizer factory in the Baltic states, is located nearby the city.
The city is sometimes called "the capital of midsummer holiday" (Lithuanian: Joninės). Thousands of locals and visitors annually celebrate the midsummer festival in Jonava. Each year during the midsummer holiday Jonava is declared a one-day 'Republic of Johns' (Lithuanian: Jonų Respublika). The Jonava's Republic of Johns has thousands of citizens not only from Lithuania, but also from many foreign countries (e.g. Poland, Croatia, Austria, Mexico, Italy, United States, etc.). Only those who provide documents proving that their names are John (Lithuanian: Jonas) or Janina are eligible to apply for the citizenship of the Republic of Johns.
