Mr Gooding's country? (4)

I believe the answer is:

cuba

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

'country?' is the definition.
(Cuba is an example)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for cuba that I've seen before include "Caribbean country of cigars and rum?" , "Long rum-based drink" , "Caribbean island republic" , "Largest Caribbean island" , "Largest West Indies island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
