State with elected head (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

republic

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">state with elected head</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for republic that I've seen before include "Nation with a president as head of state" , "Form of government without a monarch" , "State without monarch" , "Non-monarchical state" , "Nation in which the head of state is elected" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
