Country area getting along badly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angola

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Angola is a African country)

'area getting along badly' is the wordplay.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'badly' indicates an anagram (letters in the wrong order).
'along' anagrammed gives 'ngola'.
'a'+'ngola'='ANGOLA'

(Other definitions for angola that I've seen before include "African state (and Department of Health?)" , "West African country" , "Southwestern African state" , "African country, former Portuguese colony" , "SW African republic, capital Luanda" .)
