The Iberian, Italian, and Balkan Peninsula
The Adriatic and Black Seas.
Italy is a peninsula and a group of islands located outside Central Europe. It is one of the three great peninsulas of Europe (along with the Balkan and the Iberian Peninsulas), and is bordered by Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, France, and the Mediterranean Sea.

Western Europe does not receive the most rainfall in Europe. Southern Europe (mostly Southeastern Europe, along the Adriatic coast) does.
Korea, Malaysia and part of Russia (Kamchatka) are peninsulas, along with Saudi Arabia.
Southern Europe's most fertile land is located mainly in Italy and the Balkan Peninsula, typically along the coastline of the Adriatic or the Black Seas.
France would more commonly be regarded as being in western Europe. However in the southeast of France it has a short coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, and it is the countries on the Mediterranean Sea that are in southern Europe.

Southern Europe is almost fully composed of democracies (most of which are republics along with two constitutional monarchies). However, there is one country in Europe that is considered a theocracy or absolute monarchy: Vatican City.
