One candle put out in this country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iceland

'this country' is the definition.
(Iceland is an example)

'one candle put out in' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'put out' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'candle' with letters rearranged gives 'celand'.
'i' going within 'celand' is 'ICELAND'.

(Other definitions for iceland that I've seen before include "Cold Atlantic country" , "North Atlantic island republic" , "Former Danish colony" , "Land of geysers and Norse sagas" , "N. Atlantic nation" .)
