Alsatian and bears trouble country (5)
I believe the answer is:
egypt
'country' is the definition.
(Egypt is a country)
'alsatian and bears trouble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'trouble' could be 'gyp' (gyp can mean bodily pain or trouble) and 'gyp' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egypt that I've seen before include "Where Cavafy wrote" , "Cairo is its capital" , "Country of pyramids" , "North African country" , "Cairo's country" .)
