Country carnivore eating student, American (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

belarus

'country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carnivore eating student american' is the wordplay.
'carnivore' becomes 'bear' (bear is a kind of carnivore).
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'student' becomes 'L' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'bear' enclosing 'l' is 'belar'.
'belar'+'us'='BELARUS'

(Other definitions for belarus that I've seen before include "European nation)" , "East European country, capital Minsk" , "State" , "Minsk's country" , "European republic" .)
