distinct?? did you mean district?

I have bolded the entries most people would associate with these words

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=domain

realm. noun

1. A community or territory over which a sovereign rules; a kingdom.
2. A field, sphere, or province: the realm of science. See Synonyms at field.

dis·trict (dstrkt) n.

1. A division of an area, as for administrative purposes. (usually a smaller area of land than associated with territory)
2. A region or locality marked by a distinguishing feature: went to the lake district for their vacation.

6. Sports. The area of a field defended by a specified team: punted the ball deep into the opponent's territory.
7. Biology. An area occupied by a single animal, mating pair, or group and often vigorously defended against intruders, especially those of the same species.
8. A sphere of action or interest; a province. See Synonyms at field.

All these definitions forterritory would be usual and depend on the context (what you are talking about)

NB my emphasis and interpretation is bold or italics
