georgia

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

'excellent produce' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'limited for example over country' is the wordplay.
'limited for example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin; 'limited' suggests a short form).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'country' becomes 'orgia' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'eg' in reverse letter order is 'ge'.
'ge'+'orgia'='GEORGIA'
