Counties are called županije in Croatian, županija is the singular form. The suffixes -čka, -ska in the local names indicate genitive, and so the full local name of each of them is $name županija, so e.g. Karlovačka's full name is Karlovačka županija. Some counties also prefer to swap the order of those two words but they are in the minority.
Zagreb itself is grad, a city, due to its importance it's separated from its county and given similar jurisdiction.
