Cleopatra's country (5)
I believe the answer is:
egypt
'cleopatra's country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for egypt that I've seen before include "Land of the lower Nile" , "Arab republic" , "Where Cavafy wrote" , "Ancient nation on the Nile" , "Northeast African country" .)
