I'd just say you can think of it in colloquial terms. China is a nation state, as is France, Germany, Russia, Venezuela, etc. Some are looser than others, some are stronger. Along these lines I think ethnicity and homogeneity play a part but not always.
There's some room for argument about who and what are nation states - does the Bahamas qualify as a nation state or just a convenient government? Are some countries stronger nation states? What's the difference between countries and nation states? Is there one? There are probably some items to explore there for me too.
Maybe there's something you have in mind you want to discuss with respect to the concept of the nation state?
