The term "Sultanate" I would imagine as stated means the realm that is ruled by the Sultan/Sultana. You could simply interchange this with "Thanalan". She is the monarch of Ul'dah and its territory. This, consequently, has nothing to do with the political power of the syndicate. It is simply a term that defines the nation's sovereign territory.
