Canal country (6)
I believe the answer is:
panama
'canal country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for panama that I've seen before include "Great American canal or tropical hat" , "Hat made of plaited palm leaves" , "'Country, canal and hat (6)'" , "country divided by boaters?" , "Hat woven from jipijapa leaves" .)
