Country type, rustic — a bit (4)

I believe the answer is:

peru

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

'type rustic a bit' is the wordplay.
'a bit' indicates a hidden word (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue).
'PERU' is hidden in the letters of 'type rustic'.

(Other definitions for peru that I've seen before include "Lima's country" , "Homeland of Paddington Bear" , "South American republic" , "South American state" , "S American country, capital Lima" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
