Always under cover, decide to evacuate country (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
cape verde
'country' is the definition.
(Cape Verde is an example)
'always under cover decide to evacuate' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'always' could be 'ever' (synonyms) and 'ever' is found in the answer.
'cover' could be 'cap' (capping is a kind of covering) and 'cap' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cape verde that I've seen before include "island republic" , "westernmost Africa" , "African headland and offshore islands of the same name" .)
