I've always considered "Med" to be a European phenotype, which other groups can sometimes look like (because of ancestral reasons) but not as a whole. In other words, you'll have people outside of Europe and European influenced areas who appear Med but whose co-ethnics are mostly not Med. For example, MENA people. Most MENA don't look like true meds, but individually, there are quite a few who fit into the Med spectrum.
Med is in between North Europe and MENA. In fact, that's how it should be defined because that's how it looks in ever plot I've seen.
