'country' is the definition.
(Honduras is an example)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for honduras that I've seen before include "Central American republic" , "US hadron in Central America, strangely" , "Central American country, capital Tegucigalpa" , "Country of Central America" , "Land" .)
