I believe the answer is:

italy

(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Land for laity, oddly" , "Problematical (informal)" , "Country shaped like a boot" , "Laity (anag.)" , "Original member of the European Economic Community" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Newsday.com.
