Country certainly not embracing resistance (6)
I believe the answer is:
norway
'country' is the definition.
(Norway is an example)
'certainly not embracing resistance' is the wordplay.
'certainly not' becomes 'no way' (both are emphatically negative answers).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in physics and electronics).
'noway' going around 'r' is 'NORWAY'.
(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "See twelve across" , "Edvard Munch's homeland" , "Mountainous country" , "Grieg's land" , "Grieg, Ibsen country" .)
