america

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

'i must take' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'revolutionary camera round country' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' indicates an anagram.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'country' becomes 'i' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'camera' is an anagram of 'amerca'.
'amerca' placed around 'i' is 'AMERICA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "Where's Virginia?" , "Race aim (anag)" , "Continent of the Western Hemisphere" , "The superpower" , "Country bordering Mexico" .)
