Country whose capital is named after an early U.S. president (7)

I believe the answer is:

liberia

(Other definitions for liberia that I've seen before include "West African country founded for freed slaves" , "Africa's oldest independent country" , "One of the African nations" , "Monrovia's country" , "African republic, capital Monrovia" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
