Outlaw with false name cut across country (7)
I believe the answer is:
albania
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Albania is a country)
'outlaw with false name cut across' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'outlaw' could be 'ban' (banning is a kind of outlawing) and 'ban' is found within the answer.
'name' could be 'alia' and 'alia' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for albania that I've seen before include "SE European country" , "Eastern European country" , "Country on Adriatic coast" , "One country" , "Mediterranean country" .)
