Well Anglo saxon's description or definition of a kingdom is:

A large land ruled by a King, Ruler or Emperor which includes:


 * A place of worship (Usually a cathedral)


 * A kings council.


 * Tradding goods


 * Legal system


 * A capital town/city


 * Various settlements (Hamlets, Villages, Townss, Cities)


 * A military


 * Income/Capital

Basically a kingdom needs fighting men, praying men and working men and the kings duty to provide the neccessary requirements: Gifts, Weapons, Food, Ale and clothing throughout his land. I.e creating towns and villages with factories, shops, and ensuring his military is well stocked with horses and armories and provide land for churches (Which was more vital in Anglo Saxon times then in the EF, it seems in the EF magic has become the religion equivilant).A king also ensures laws are kept and will create new laws if needed, he also may deal with rebels and people suspected of dissatisfaction.

From the above description most (not all) the EF kingdoms fall into it. We know that in the EF trade is a thing as Rumple asks Regina to cut of trade with King George. We know most kingdoms have a capital usually within the castle walls, like King George, The Maritime Kingdom and Camelot, Reginas capital is most likely where she posed as the old hag with Jefferson. Various settlements: I.e the Hamlet where Snow and Hercules protected the people, the village where Red lives (Even though it appears she is from a small town) and the stone town I meantioned just. Then theres also the town known as Longbourn (It may technically not be in this kingdom). Regina defo has a army of black knights, Leopold had a great army of white knights, Snow also has access to a magical defence in the guise of fairy magic. Snow and Charming even have a council as we see most kingdoms do, there aslso seems to be a council in Reds town/village. They defo have a church in their kingdom, possibly even more as we also know that religion in the EF is not limited to Christianity and finally as we discussed above there is a legal system however weird it might be.
