Country absolutely not accepting king (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norway

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

'absolutely not accepting king' is the wordplay.
'absolutely not' becomes 'noway' (I've seen this before).
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'king' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation for rex).
'noway' enclosing 'r' is 'NORWAY'.

(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "European monarchy" , "See twelve across" , "Scandinavian nation" , "Grieg, Ibsen country" , "Scandinavian country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
