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

'another country' is the definition.
'india' can be an answer for 'country' (India is an example). I am not certain of the 'another' bit.

'institute found in italy and maybe' is the wordplay.
'institute' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation as in MIT).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'italy' becomes 'i'.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'and'='iand'
'iand' is an anagram of 'inda'.
'i' placed inside 'inda' is 'INDIA'.
