It might be better to imagine the federation as similar to the Holy Roman Empire (at least in the earliest time of the Empire, when the Emperor had significant authority over the entire Empire). The Kingdom of Elchea would be akin to the Impirial Lands of Austria, Bohemia and Hungary, while the Federation is akin to the rest of the Empire, ruled by the local Dukes, Princes', Counts etc, but all owing allegence to the Emperor/Empress (Sora/Shiro). Steph, is still a Princess yet as she is no longer of the ruling family, has morphed into Sora and Shiro's personal assistant and become effectively the Chancellor of the Empire, with Ino Hatsuse becoming the Vice Chancellor of the Empire.
