Country folk behind you (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yemen

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

'folk behind you' is the wordplay.
'folk' becomes 'men' (I've seen this in other clues).
'behind' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'you' becomes 'ye' (**).
'men' put after 'ye' is 'YEMEN'.

(Other definitions for yemen that I've seen before include "Middle Eastern country" , "Country to south of Saudi Arabia" , "Republic on the Arabian Peninsula" , "Arab state" , "Republic sited on the SW corner of Arabia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
