Not canon, but Jane Espenson views the shared lion sigil as a reference to an overaching empire of the Enchanted Forest which they share.

So, it seems that it is true that they appear to be more like city-states within the empire/region of the Enchanted Forest.

Also, the Crimson Crown booklet refered to the Enchanted Forest as a riding which is an admninistrative district or pretty much a "county" which nicely calls back to Storybrooke being a county. It talked about the Enchanted Forest and the wetlands to the east, so going by this conceptual knowledge:

-Aurora and Phillip was shown to have wetlands, so they may be in the eastern portion, but also the entire Enchanted Forest conglomerate may be simply east of Camelot.
