After revolution a map includes a new country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panama

'country' is the definition.
(Panama is an example)

'after revolution a map includes a new' is the wordplay.
'after revolution' is a reversal indicator.
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'a new' becomes 'an' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'map'='amap'
'amap' going around 'an' is 'amanap'.
'amanap' written backwards gives 'PANAMA'.

(Other definitions for panama that I've seen before include "Hat woven from jipijapa leaves" , "Land - hat - cigar" , "Man's hat" , "Canal zone" , "What may be seen overhead" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
