"When Christ was tempted by satan with the kingdoms of the world in which of the three areas was Christ being tempted with."

All three, but the pride of life was the dominant temptation.

It was Jesus' humanity being tempted, His divinty cannot be tempted.
It was all the kingdoms of this world, including the outposts such as Germania and others not under the Roman flag. Satan is the God of this world and had the power to deliver. The power was given to Satan by Adam in the Garden when He rebelled against God and turned over His dominion over creation to Satan by accepting Satans' words above Gods Words.
Jesus', in His sinless humanity, conquered Satan and regained the dominion that man had lost by defeating Satan during the forty days and also in His death and Resurrection. The keys of the Kingdom are once more in the hands of Jesus and His Body==The Church.
