Country girl busy worker embraces (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

belize

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

'girl busy worker embraces' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'liz' (short for Elizabeth).
'busy worker' becomes 'bee' (I've seen this in another clue).
'embraces' is an insertion indicator.
'liz' placed within 'bee' is 'BELIZE'.

(Other definitions for belize that I've seen before include "Central American state" , "Central American republic" , "Caribbean country" , "Commonwealth state" , "Central American country, formerly British Honduras" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
