All of these terms get used almost interchangeably nowadays:

country is a land belonging to certain nation and state is authority ruling over certain land. when the state has authority over at least most of the country and that country alone it's a nation-state.

The French nation inhabits the country of France and is governed by the state of the République française.

A nation-state is a state that is concerned with, promotes, and advances the general strength, wellbeing, protection, and care for a nation. The Japanese state (Nippon-koku) promotes the general interests of the Japanese people at the exclusion or possible detriment of other, non-Japanese peoples and nations. Not out of malice, but out of the fact that a nation-state is created with the intention of advancing the interests of the nation and ONLY the nation.

These words are sometimes used interchangeably but they are very different things.

Take Ireland for example. It is a single country divided between two states, the Republic of Ireland being a nation state, Northern Ireland a province belonging to a multinational state. Ireland is inhabited by two nations, the Irish and the British (though a third "Northern Irish" identity is forming slowly), and 4 ethnicities, the Gaelic Irish, the Anglo-Irish, the Ulster-Scots and the Irish Travellers.

Hopefully this did well to illustrate the differences. between a country, a state and a nation.
