My thought is that perhaps Surwich is a semi-autonomous (ran by local authorities) village within the geographical boundaries of the Kingdom of Stormwind. I think that is a much more sensible understanding than the alternative, that is, that the Gilneas aristocracy considers it to be governed by the formal Gilnean kingdom. There are plenty of examples of minority ethnic groups in history existing within the boundaries of a nation-state like Stormwind. The historical, legal, and aristocratic lines of the kingdom do not change because a few expatriate fishers made a village and elected a mayor.
