So, they treat sultans like governors or dukes, with the Sultan (of sultans) as the king. Not too shabby, even though that pushes it a little, but.........hey, we get our third actual city in FTL. So, Jasmine's father is the Sultan of the capital city (region) of Agrabah, thus could also be the leader amongst the sultans. (Now, technically, for the simplictic sake as the show does, there are just a bunch of random Sultans of Agrabah) It would be cool, which would make some sense as to why Jafar (usurper of one Sultanate) becomes a counsellor/ vizier for the Lead Sultan. Adam even further explained that Agrabah is a realm (guessing he means a realm of FTL, and not it's own world. He would be contradicting what they previously said, if it is it's own world now) with multiple cities in it (Note: Adam's been randomly deleting tweets recently, so this may not be up forever): https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/789261977466003456

So I guess in a sense, Agrabah is essentially the entire Middle East region of FTL. Honestly, I'm fine with this answer. It actually makes sense, and it makes it less messy trying to explain how Jasmine and her father fits in with Jafar and his father. Trying to go into exposition about why Jasmine's father took over the same city could have been too much of a headache, and would have been overcomplicated for viewers who never watched Wonderland. I think this is a happy medium for both sects of viewers. I'm glad they at least chose to not entirely ignore what Wonderland previously established in this case. However, now I'm curious as to why Jafar is the vizier for this Sultan, and what is his agenda here? Will it tie in to his mission to break the laws of magic in any shape or form?
