State embargo inter alia? (7)
I believe the answer is:
albania
'state' is the definition.
(Albania is an example)
'embargo inter alia?' is the wordplay.
'embargo' becomes 'ban' (I've seen this in other clues).
'inter' indicates putting letters inside ('inter' means between or among in Latin).
'ban' placed within 'alia' is 'ALBANIA'.
(Other definitions for albania that I've seen before include "One country" , "Country W of Macedonia" , "Eastern European country" , "Country in the Balkans" , "State" .)
