Morphology

united + queendom

The meaning — a realm unified under queens or emphasizing femininity — follows directly from combining 'united' (combined as one) with 'queendom' (a realm ruled by a queen). Although playful and punning on 'United Kingdom', the composition is literal and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

United Queendom is a modern, playful twist on United Kingdom: it replaces King with Queen to picture a country ruled by queens. So, people use it jokingly or to highlight 'women's leadership' or 'unity'.
