Two kinds of American mostly suffering for a country (7)

I believe the answer is:

austria

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for a country' is the definition.
(Austria is an example)

'two kinds of american mostly suffering' is the wordplay.
'two kinds' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'of american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'suffering' becomes 'trial' (trial can mean an ordeal or suffering).
'trial' with its final letter taken away is 'tria'.
'a'+'us'+'tria'='AUSTRIA'

Can you help me to learn more?
