Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'sultanate' (a state ruled by a sultan) combined with 'of' + 'Oman' denotes the state belonging to or governed in Oman. This standard noun-of-place construction is cross-linguistically common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Sultanate of Oman comes from the ruler title sultan and the old place name 'Oman'. It literally means 'the land ruled by a sultan', so the name shows that Oman is a country ruled by a sultan today.
