Besides, going by the rules for Japanese high fantasy, the NIN village would have been in a secret place, not the capital for a nation.This is actually incorrect, the very first quest in the Ninja storyline when you first meet Tsubame and Oboro they tell you that they have come to Eorzea from Doma on a mission while explaining to you who they are and who Karasu is and why they are hunting him. There is also the fact that they clearly come from the same place as Yugiri because they say something like "you must be the Rogues Lady Yugiri spoke of."
The point I am trying to make is that it is very likely that Doma is to them what Gridania or Ul'dah is to Eorzea, even if it is a nation it is still likely based around the Doma Village. It's like how we call people from Gridania, Gridanians... not Black Shroudians.
