Four distinct kingdoms emerged into independence following Alexander's death and the break-up of his unified empire. Macedonia, Alexander's home region, retained its position as ruler of Greece and closely surrounding areas. The Ptolemaic kingdom encompassed most of what is now Egypt. The Pergamons controlled most of what is now modern-day Turkey (Asia Minor) and other areas adjacent to the Black Sea. The Seleucids ruled the largest portion of the former empire, from the Middle East through the Near East and almost to the borders of modern-day India.

I'm sorry some one gave you the incorrect information but there were four they were Macedonia, Syria, Pergamum, and Egypt

Alexander conquered Egypt, Macedonia, and the Persian Empire.
The Hellenistic kingdoms
The Macedonian and Greek aristocracy maintained Greek culture, the rest of the populaces of the kingdoms, established by Alexander's generals after his death, continued their own cultures. We call the kingdoms Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek) because of this.
His general divided his empire amongst themselves and established kingdoms of their own. These kingdoms became Greek for the ruling Macedonians and Greeks, but the rest continued their own cultures.
