Stylish to help lift country (5)
I believe the answer is:
india
'country' is the definition.
(I know that India is a country)
'stylish to help lift' is the wordplay.
'stylish' becomes 'in'.
'to help' becomes 'aid' ('aid' can be a synonym of 'help').
'lift' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'lifted' mean this (going up in down clue)).
'aid' back-to-front is 'dia'.
'in'+'dia'='INDIA'
(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Second-most populous country" , "Country in South Asia" , "vast country" , "Bollywood's country" , "Cricket team" .)
