The Mediterranean is a nation that borders the country Italy which is the shape of a boot. A hot-summer climate, the Mediterranean is very large; about 1/3 or 1/4 size of of Europe.
Due to its central geographic location in Southern Europe, the Mediterranean has historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures, and is an important global trading hub.
During the Early Middle Ages, the Mediterranean endured the fall of the Western Roman Empire and barbarian invasions, but by the 11th century numerous rival city-states and maritime republics existed there.
Largely impoverished and excluded from Industrialization, the Mediterranean is currently in the midst of a salinity crisis, and coping with the aftermath of the Zanclean flood.
