Any good Atlas would give you the general location, i.e. page ***, Row
H, Column 1. Vatican City is inside the city of Rome. As a geography
fan, I can give you more detail from memory if you ask for it. Monaco,
for example, is on the Mediterranean coast of France near Marseille.
Sri Lanka is off the southern tip of India. Etc.
