I believe the answer is:

nations

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

'they aren't all united' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'in nato's disarray' is the wordplay.
'disarray' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'natos'='innatos'
'innatos' anagrammed gives 'NATIONS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nations that I've seen before include "No stain (anag.)" , "Countries" .)
