Shape country (5)
I believe the answer is:
state
This clue is a double definition.
'shape' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'country' is the second definition.
('state' can be a synonym of 'country')
(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Pomp; nation" , "Declare; affirm" , "Condition; nation" , "whole people" , "E.g. Georgia" .)
