What is the difference?
What is the difference between COUNTRY and VILLAGE? RUSTIC and RURAL?
We have different name for habitat suburban location in Russian language (поселение, село, поселок, деревня). It depends on number of citizens living there. I suppose you have something like that?

Country: The land not within a city. It can also mean "nation".
Village: A small settlement.
Rural: Something in or from the country, rather than from the city.
Rustic: Something in the style of being old-fashioned or rural.
As for words for settlements, we have "village", "town" and "city". The difference between these is the number of people living there.

Just a note about a city. It's not just about the size, at least in the UK.
Having a cathedral and a royal charter from the monarch can make a small population centre into a city. The smallest city is the UK is St David's with a population in 2011 of 1,841.

Thank you for your comment. And it was new to me word "hamlet". Before I thought it was name of Shakespeare's character. Now I know that is also a settlement less than village.
