How the clue works
The definition is Country where Eden Project failed, a clever reference to Egypt and Anthony Eden's disastrous involvement in the 1956 Suez Crisis. To get the letters, you take EG (meaning 'say'), then Y from the last letter of 'foolhardy' clued by 'ultimately', and finally PT, the well-known abbreviation for 'exercise'.
