Crossword Genius

Definitely not embracing king and country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norway

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

'definitely not embracing king' is the wordplay.
'definitely not' becomes 'noway'.
'embracing' is an insertion indicator.
'king' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation for rex).
'noway' enclosing 'r' is 'NORWAY'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "Mountainous country" , "Now, Ray, go to the country" , "Ray won (anag)" , "in E" , "Any row in this strange country?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
