Country in gear, I gathered (7)
I believe the answer is:
nigeria
'country' is the definition.
(Nigeria is an example)
'in gear i gathered' is the wordplay.
'gathered' is an anagram indicator (the letters are gathered into a new order).
'in'+'gear'+'i'='ingeari'
'ingeari' anagrammed gives 'NIGERIA'.
(Other definitions for nigeria that I've seen before include "Land in Africa" , "African country r" , "West African nation" , "Republic in West Africa" , "In rage I turn to this country" .)
