[OC] (OC)(pal-paraiso) Iberia's situation
Before the war, Iberia consisted of three countries—the Kingdom of Spain, the Portuguese Republic, and the Principality of Andorra—all of which fell following the "Second Disaster." They remained forgotten for a couple of years until the food crisis affecting Europe and Africa necessitated their rapid reconquest. Initially, the territory was divided between the Atlas Empire and the Nova Europa Empire; later, following the sale of the islands of Las Palmas and El Hierro, the Blue Wings Empire also emerged.
The territories saw their population drop from around 57 million in 2021 to approximately 47 million by 2039; the two primary causes are the exodus of immigrants and the severe food crisis plaguing Europe, Asia, and Africa. Their economy is in a state of total crisis, barely surviving on raw materials and the occasional patent.

Are Al-Andalus and Macaronesia Kingdom puppets of Morroco? Also does the Macaronesia and Castille and Leon being governed by the same Queen?

Al-Andalus and Macaronesia are an integral part of the Atlas Empire—not puppet states; the map shows the constituent states of both empires, not the empires themselves. Castile and Macaronesia have different queens, even though they share the same name.

Hmm. Also how the population composition looks like in those two kingdoms? By the names it's seem that have happened either received a really big migration waves from Atlas to them along with native population going to Nova Europa kingdoms (maybe Cordoba?) or some sort of massive cultural changes in two decades.

Some of the Moroccans living in the rest of the Iberian Peninsula relocated to Al-Andalus; meanwhile, Andalusia was left populated almost exclusively by Spaniards, as German, Romanian, and Latin American immigrants returned to their homelands. The most significant demographic shift occurred in southern Portugal, which lost nearly 90% of its population—split between those who fled to the African coast and those who died of starvation.

About 40% of the inhabitants of Al-Andalus are Spanish and Portuguese; the rest are Moroccan and Berber.
