I know Ishgardian Holy Knights are allowed to operate within the borders of the Black Shroud. Gridania extradites fugitive heretics back into Ishgardian custody.
Limsa's navy maintains a presence in the seas surrounding aldenard and even abroad. This includes the coasts of foreign nations, like Ul'dah and Garlemald. So hard to say where their jurisdiction ends.
St. Coinach's Find has an Immortal Flames officer stationed there. Unknown if Ul'dah actually controls the area or not. I think the only nation you see that doesn't have a foreign presence in Eorzea would be Gridanians, who seem to be content staying within the Hedge.
