Country needing man with an answer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guyana

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

'man with an answer' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'guy' (guy is a kind of man**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'guy'+'an'+'a'='GUYANA'

'needing' is the link.

(Other definitions for guyana that I've seen before include "Cricket-playing country" , "Off the north coast of S. America, the capital is Georgetown" , "Country E. of Venezuela" , "South American country, a British colony until 1966" , "Country of S. America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
