I believe the answer is:

greece

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

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

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for greece that I've seen before include "European nation" , "EU country" , "Mediterranean country" , "in E" , "Modern-day classical Hellas" .)
