A married woman in the country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

america

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

'a married woman' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'm'.
'woman' becomes 'erica' (**).
'a'+'m'+'erica'='AMERICA'

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "Where's Virginia?" , "huge landmass" , "Continent of the Western Hemisphere" , "Country bordering Mexico" , "Race aim (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
