Country of one billion and rising, Amnesty International fellow to tour (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

namibia

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

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

'one billion and rising amnesty international fellow to tour' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'billion' could be 'a' (synonyms) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'international' could be 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
