Charlie possessed land (4)

I believe the answer is:

chad

'land' is the definition.
(Chad is an example)

'charlie possessed' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'possessed' becomes 'had' (to have something is to possess it).
'c'+'had'='CHAD'

(Other definitions for chad that I've seen before include "African country south of Libya" , "N central African country" , "West African country" , "cartoon character" , "Feature of controversial election once" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
