Country in Outer Urals (5)

I believe the answer is:

rural

'country' is the definition.
('rural' can be similar in meaning to 'country')

'in outer urals' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RURAL' is hidden within 'outer urals'.

(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Relating to country life" , "Sort of dean" , "Countrified" , "Arcadian" , "Not urban" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
