Example sentence:

لجنة الإقليم الشمالي التوجيهيّة للحصول على صفة الولاية

Reference:

Northern Territory

"The Northern Territory could be on its way to becoming Australia's seventh state after the federal government put the issue back on the agenda. " So here state refers to ولاية.(Australia has 6 states)
المقاطعة الشمالية=Northern territory as Randa has suggested.
