Arrest Toni after occupying part of Europe (7)

I believe the answer is:

estonia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'europe' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for estonia that I've seen before include "Northern European country" , "Land" , "European republic, became independent again in 1991" , "Baltic republic, capital Tallinn" , "So eat in about here in Northern Europe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
