Country details behind flag? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taiwan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'country' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'details behind flag?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taiwan that I've seen before include "Former Formosa" , "I want a turn on this island" , "Island country, formally called Formosa" , "Formerly Formosa" , "Disputed island off china, used to be Formosa" .)
