Country areas provide setting for long break (6)
I believe the answer is:
angola
'country' is the definition.
(Angola is an example)
'provide setting for long break' is the wordplay.
'provide' becomes 'aa' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'setting for' is an anagram indicator (letters set or arranged differently).
'break' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters break into the word).
'long' anagrammed gives 'ngol'.
'aa' going around 'ngol' is 'ANGOLA'.
'areas' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angola that I've seen before include "It's no gala in this African country" , "African state (and Department of Health?)" , "Southwestern African state" , "SW African country" , "South-west African country, capital Luanda" .)
