You're absolutely right: the country's name is Zamora and Shadizar is its capital. Thulsa Doom's base of operations, with his Mountain of Power, was located south of Zamora, near the Vilayet Sea, and he was already expanding his empire west to Nemedia (Eastern Rome) and Aquilonia (Western Rome). Aquilonia was the last country to fall under Doom's yoke of influence. This was also part of a subplot that got deleted in the final movie. The reason Doom searched for Steel, the Eye of the Serpent had a bigger part. The whole reason Doom wanted to marry Yasmina was given: so he can legitimize his claim to power, royalty, nobility and all of that. That explains why King Osric eventually gets taken out of the way, gets killed, because he would not sanction the hellish union between Doom and his daughter. Lots of political shit here, that is not in the film.
