The design as you show it will prevent absurdities like assigning county = 'York', country = 'USA' to 'Toronto', but it will not disambiguate York County VA from York County PA, so I think you need a states_provs table and an FK reference to it in counties. (And if addresses may be outside North America, you will have to go further.)
