Serial about country (6)
I believe the answer is:
israel
'country' is the definition.
(Israel is an example)
'serial about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'serial' is an anagram of 'ISRAEL'.
(Other definitions for israel that I've seen before include "Middle-Eastern state" , "Zion" , "Serial (anag)" , "Serial about middle east country" , "Hands perhaps" .)
