A woman with business in the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monaco

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

'a woman with business' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'mona' ().
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'business' becomes 'co' (short for company).
'mona'+'co'='MONACO'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for monaco that I've seen before include "Home of the Grimaldis" , "Principality within France" , "Independent principality on the French Riviera" , "Med principality" , "State of the Grimaldis" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
