It's now Kampuchea (8)
I believe the answer is:
cambodia
'it's now kampuchea' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for cambodia that I've seen before include "A nation in southeastern Asia" , "Country of SW Asia, capital Phnom Penh" , "Oriental country" , "South East Asian country" , "somewhere in Asia" .)
