The Little Pennisula is clearly based on the Anatolian Peninsula (if the name wasn't an obvious hint). Also, Mediterranean means "sea in the middle of the earth." Like Lake Superior has been called the great/big/shiny? lake in various languages.
The Greater Peninsula looks like Italy and the Mede Empire brings to mind Northern Africa and the Middle East, which make sense as real life Medes were Persian. Also, the Medes have a delta like the Nile does.
Cymorene could also be based on Crete or is that Thegmis?
Yeah, Anatolia/Asia Minor is what I had I mind (for obvs reasons). I was mostly trying to match it up to the QT map as closely as possible while keeping in mind that it wasn't necessarily supposed to match up perfectly. I think Crete is definitely another possibility!
