Occasionally viewed in car, local tribal country (7)
I believe the answer is:
croatia
'country' is the definition.
(Croatia is an example)
'occasionally viewed in car local tribal' is the wordplay.
'occasionally viewed in' means one should take alternating letters (letters selected at regular intervals).
'car'+'local'+'tribal'='carlocaltribal'
The alternate letters of 'carlocaltribal' are 'CROATIA'.
(Other definitions for croatia that I've seen before include "Balkan country, capital Zagreb" , "Balkan state, became independent in 1991" , "European republic, became independent in 1991" , "East European country" , "Republic in SE Europe, capital Zagreb" .)
