   Don't be confused, though various countries use different words and in various representations, yet, they all mean same thing in this instance.
   Before i give lecture on this subject, it's mostly important to define the meaning and origin of the word Ethnic.
   The word Ethnic derived from the Greek word Ethniko (Εθνικό) which means: NATION.
   Now, the primary meaning of the word STATE represents a Country existing on its own with or without adminidtrative sovereignty. Yet it is rightfully used in Nigeria because there we have various ethnic (national) societies inhabiting different geographically demarcated lands joining together under one country that represents the Niger-area (Nigeria). A similar instance could be referred to that of the United States of America which has 50 countries and Washington joining together as the united states (countries) of America.

  Province represents the administrative division or unit of a country. This is the preferred word used especially by countries that have one people whose lands are demarcated by the government for administrative purposes rather than by ethnic or language factors etc. Province is about the same meaning as REGION as commonly used in small countries like Latvia.
   District could be described as a division of territory or a region of locality which is usually a subdivision of a county or a town. This is what some in Nigeria would refer to as "our area".
   And the word County represents the chief administrative divisions of a country or state, as in the UK and Ireland
   @9iceX, take flekan's answer, and fill in the state you are from.

NOTE: As these two words require keen observation and often come under same subject, do not ever mistake or misuse Country for County.
