Country definitely not maintaining resistance (6)
I believe the answer is:
norway
'country' is the definition.
(Norway is an example)
'definitely not maintaining resistance' is the wordplay.
'definitely not' becomes 'no way'.
'maintaining' is an insertion indicator.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (electronics abbreviation).
'noway' placed around 'r' is 'NORWAY'.
(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "See twelve across" , "North European country" , "Any row in this strange country?" , "Scandinavian nation" , "Trondheim country" .)
