Sphinx setting (5)

I believe the answer is:

egypt

(Other definitions for egypt that I've seen before include "Land of the lower Nile" , "Arab republic" , "Country of pyramids" , "Where M. Antony died" , "Cairo's country" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
