Persia is (mostly) Iran, Mesopotamia (land between two rivers - the Tigris and the Euphrates) is (mostly) Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran, and Babylonia is (mostly) some of Iraq.
1. Babylonia: "Babylonia, named for its capital city, Babylon, was an ancient state in the south part of Mesopotamia (in modern Iraq), combining the territories of Sumer and Akkad. The earliest mention of Babylon can be found in a tablet of the reign of Sargon of Akkad, dating back to the 23rd century BC."
2. Mesopotamia refers to the region now occupied by modern Iraq, eastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and Southwest Iran.
3. Persia: Persia has long been used by the West to describe the nation of Iran, its people, and its ancient empires. This area was the core of the original Persian Empire. But the Persian Empire waxed and waned in size. For a map of it at its greatest extent, plesae see the third link.
