The Eorzean city-states are... well... city-states. So the name of the city is the name of the state, even if the region or island the state is located on goes by other geographical names. Most of the cities we've encountered in Hydaelyn follow a similar pattern until we get to the Far East where we have the Kingdom of Dalmasca and Hingashi who break from this pattern and are kind of confusingly labelled on the map.On the choice of the label "Dalmasca" rather than "Rabanastre", it could be to do with what we 'normally call' the region politically. For the Eorzean cities we often talk about Gridania or Ul'dah as if the name represents the entirety of the Shroud or Thanalan. Dalmasca doesn't have the same oddity, and is correctly used to describe the country, while (from what little it's been discussed) Rabanastre only seems to refer specifically to the capital.
Hingashi is the name of the nation, but the capital city is Bukyo. "Hingashi" is not labelled on the map, just the islands that make up Hingashi (Koshu and Shishu) and the two known cities (Bukyo and Kugane). OP is correct in that, if we were to follow this pattern, the city should be labelled Rabanastre and someone just goofed. Like I said in my first post there'll likely be an in-world explanation for why, when we zoomed specifically in on pretty much the entirety of the Kingdom of Dalmasca on the map Fran pulled out, Rabanastre, Dalmasca's capital, is erroneously labelled as the country name and not the city's name.
Yep, the Kingdom of Doma rules the region of Yanxia. Yanxia here is just the geographical region name.
