North African country; capital Rabat (7)

I believe the answer is:

morocco

(Other definitions for morocco that I've seen before include "Arab state" , "North African country - leather" , "Fine soft leather from goatskin" , "Casablanca's country" , "in which literature may be bound to sell" .)

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