"that is kuni if read alone though (kunyomi), koku if read as part of a compound(onyomi)."

There is a (very) general rule when applying Kunyomi and/or Onyomi, with many exceptions to that rule. When you see a group of Kanji, noting the first character is pronunced in onyomi, then most likely the rest are read in onyomi. For example, Japan is formally known as Nihon-koku (日本国). On the other hand, terms like 大和国/Yamato Province or 出雲国/Izumo Province are pronunced Yamato no Kuni and Izumo no Kuni respectively.

"but then what should this new superpower nation be called as?"

I am not suggesting the name 'Sorcerer Kingdom' be changed, since it rolls off the tongue easier and sounds apt. Though if you want to be specific, then the meaning is closer to 'Kingdom led by Monsters/Demons', 'Monster/Demon Kingdom' ... etc. ​​​Except Ainz did mention specifically that he was undead, and not a Demon, so there is that to consider.
