Country with roughly nothing Spanish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canada

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

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

'roughly nothing spanish' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'roughly' could be 'ca' (abbreviation for circa) and 'ca' is located in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'nada' (synonyms) and 'nada' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
