A "governing official" is the current official in charge of a company/company/state/etc. "Ruling official" could work too but I think "governing official" sounds more formal and precise.

As for "non-sovereign state", the governors in POTC did not lead states, only colonies and companies. You have to remember that this is the POTC Wiki, not the real-world Wiki.

The word "employees" can cover a very wide area, from the official members of some company to simple temporary workers of that same company. So yes, employees of a corporate organization can be that organization's officials.

I think the word the word "autonomy" could work better than “sovereignty” in this case.
