You ask a question that's a lot more complicated than you know.

First, when Alexander was alive all the countries that existed were different than today (except possibly Egypt). For example, what we call Greece was at that time composed of about 30 or so little countries we now called city-states, such as Thebes, Corinth, Sparta, Athens, Megara and a whole lot of smaller ones. In modern Turkey there were some more city-states, such as Lydia, Ephesus, and so on. We may never know the names of ALL the little two-bit kingdoms he conquered on the way to modern Pakistan.

Next, Alexander "ruled" different places differently. In Macedonia, he was the king. In Athens, he had no "official" title, but Athens did whatever he asked, because they had been forced to sign a treaty that effectively put them under Alexander's command. In Persia, he ruled as king, but through satraps, who ruled smaller pieces of Persia. In modern Afghanistan, he was lucky to be able to collect some taxes and to instill enough fear that he could avoid being attacked. "Rule" would be a bit of a stretch for that area.

If you have a textbook or buy a history of Alexander, it should have a map showing the extent of his rule. It pretty much covered all of modern Greece, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Egypt -- and probably some others I am forgetting because I am not looking at a map.
