How can I fix this query that uses the IF statment into the WHERE condition?

Question

I am not so into DB (I am using MySql ) and I have the following problem trying to add an *IF** condition into this query:

SELECT
    LCZ1.id                                          AS localization_id,
    LCZ1.description                                 AS localization_description, 
    CNT.id                                           AS country_id,
    CNT.country_name                                 AS country_name,
    CNT.isActive                                     AS country_is_active,
    RGN.id                                           AS region_id,
    RGN.region_name                                  AS region_name,
    PRV.id                                           AS province_id,
    PRV.province_name                                AS province_name,
    DST.id                                           AS district_id, 
    DST.district_name                                AS district_name,
    SCT.id                                           AS sector_id,
    SCT.sector_name                                  AS sector_name

FROM Localization                                   AS LCZ1
LEFT JOIN Country                                   AS CNT
     ON LCZ1.country_id = CNT.id
LEFT JOIN Region                                    AS RGN
     ON LCZ1.region_id = RGN.id
LEFT JOIN Province                                  AS PRV
     ON LCZ1.province_id = PRV.id 
LEFT JOIN District                                  AS DST
     ON LCZ1.district_id = DST.id
LEFT JOIN Sector                                    AS SCT
     ON LCZ1.sector_id = SCT.id

WHERE
     (LCZ1.country_id = (SELECT LCZ2.country_id FROM Localization AS LCZ2 WHERE LCZ2.id = 5))

IF(LCZ2.country_id = 1)
BEGIN
    AND
        LCZ1.region_id is not null
END

IF(LCZ2.country_id = 2)
BEGIN
    AND
        LCZ1.province_id is not null

END

As you can see what I am tryin to do is have a different part of my WHERE condition that depends by the value of the LCZ2.country_id retrieved in this subquery:

SELECT LCZ2.country_id FROM Localization AS LCZ2 WHERE LCZ2.id = 5

What is wrong in my query? What am I missing? How can I fix it?

Here is an immediate fix to your WHERE clause:

WHERE
    (LCZ1.country_id = (SELECT LCZ2.country_id FROM Localization AS LCZ2 WHERE LCZ2.id = 5)) AND
    (
        (LCZ1.country_id = 1 AND LCZ1.region_id IS NOT NULL) OR
        (LCZ1.country_id = 2 AND LCZ1.provice_id IS NOT NULL) OR
         LCZ1.country_id NOT IN (1, 2)
    )

There is probably a better way of writing this, maybe without the subquery. If you can update your answer to better describe the problem, perhaps this answer can be simplified.
