Country is for real revolutionary (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

israel

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

'is for real revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'revolutionary' is an anagram indicator.
'real' anagrammed gives 'rael'.
'is'+'rael'='ISRAEL'

(Other definitions for israel that I've seen before include "Go to this country for ale, sir" , "Middle Eastern state" , "Eastern Med nation" , "Serial (anag)" , "Serial about Jewish nation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
