I believe the answer is:

albania

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

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

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for albania that I've seen before include "Country on Adriatic coast" , "One country" , "Eastern European country" , "State" , "Balkan country" .)

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