A little girl meant to ramble in the country
I believe the answer is:
vietnam
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Vietnam is a country)
'a little girl meant to ramble' is the wordplay.
'a little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'girl' becomes 'Viv' (short for Vivienne).
'to ramble' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'rambles' mean this).
'viv' with its last letter removed is 'vi'.
'meant' with letters rearranged gives 'etnam'.
'vi'+'etnam'='VIETNAM'
'in the' is the link.
(Other definitions for vietnam that I've seen before include "Asian country, divided north and south from 1954 to 1975" , "Country in SE Asia, capital Hanoi" , "Met Ivan at the edge of the South China Sea" , "country abroad" , "Far East country" .)
