Place burden on country with Denmark's last stand (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
taxi rank
'stand' is the definition.
(I know that taxi rank is a type of stand)
'place burden on country with denmark's last' is the wordplay.
'place burden on' becomes 'tax' (to tax is to place a burden on).
'country' becomes 'Iran' (Iran is a country).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'last' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'denmark' is 'k'.
'tax'+'iran'+'k'='TAXI RANK'
(Other definitions for taxi rank that I've seen before include "Cab-stand" , "Parking place for cabs" , "Row of vehicles for hire" , "Line of cars waiting to to hired" , "site for parking" .)
