I believe the answer is:

cyprus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country' is the definition.
(Cyprus is an example)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for cyprus that I've seen before include "Island member of the European Union" , "Partitioned Med. island" , "Island - legendary home of Aphrodite" , "Mediterranean island country" , "Othello island" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
