Ed goes in four directions in the country (6)

I believe the answer is:

sweden

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

'in the country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ed goes in four directions' is the wordplay.
'goes in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'four directions' becomes 'swen' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ed' going into 'swen' is 'SWEDEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "We send out to here, oddly" , "European kingdom" , "Scandinavian kingdom" , "Home of ABBA, Volvo and smorgasbord" , "EU member country" .)
