At War Asterisk?

So, I was looking around at my neighbors as the Ottomans, and I noticed that Lithuania is at war with Muscovy* and Crimea, as you can see here:

Does anyone know what that asterisk after Muscovy represents?

It means that they are the war leader

Ah, thanks. Out of curiosity, does it say that anywhere in game? I think I might have missed it in the tutorial.

Not sure if it is mentioned anywhere. It's something you just figure out after a while
