As if this country could be construed to be Afro-Asiatic! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

croatia

'as if this country could be construed to be afro-asiatic' is the definition.
'croatia' can be an answer for 'country' (Croatia is an example). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for croatia that I've seen before include "Adriatic nation" , "Balkan state, became independent in 1991" , "From small country" , "European republic, became independent in 1991" , "Republic in SE Europe, capital Zagreb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
