Country doing no harm deposing government (5)
I believe the answer is:
benin
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Benin is or was a African country)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for benin that I've seen before include "Old West African kingdom from which 'bronze' sculptures were looted by the British in 1897" , "Republic in West Africa" , "City formerly known as Dahomey" , "part of Africa" , "Country W. of Nigeria" .)
