I believe the answer is:

madagascar

'island republic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for madagascar that I've seen before include "Island republic in the Indian Ocean" , "Large island off the east coast of Africa" , "Part of Africa" , "Island republic of Africa" , "film" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
