Men distressed in evil country (7)
I believe the answer is:
denmark
'country' is the definition.
(Denmark is an example)
'men distressed in evil' is the wordplay.
'distressed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'evil' becomes 'dark' ('dark' can be similar in meaning to 'evil'**).
'men' with letters rearranged gives 'enm'.
'enm' going inside 'dark' is 'DENMARK'.
(Other definitions for denmark that I've seen before include "Hamlet's country" , "Aarhus is its second-largest city" , "North European country" , "Hamlet, Prince of . . . . . . . (7)" , "Hamlet's homeland" .)
