Countries in the modern sense of the word (nation-states) did not exist in antiquity. There were three main types of state formations. One was kingdoms and/or empires. Another was territories of ethnic groups named after the group. These could be of a size similar to a county or a regional size. They could be collections of city-states as with Etruria (land of the Etruscans) and Latium (land of the Latins) federations of tribes (as with Samnium land of the Samnites, which was a federation of four Samnite tribes) or ethnic areas where each tribe had its own state, as with the Gauls of northern Italy. Finally, there were city-states whose size varied from district-type (a town and its surrounding countryside and villages) to region-wide territories which included other towns, as in much of Greece and in parts of Italy.
Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire. This covered the areas of Anatolia (modern day Turkey), which previously had been divided into various kingdoms, Persia (Iran), and the areas of modern countries which did not exist back then: Afghanistan, Pakistan up to the River Hindus, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It also included Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), Syria, Phoenicia (Lebanon) the modern Israel/Palestine area, Nabataea (which was in modern western Jordan) and Egypt.
