Drive around volcano country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vietnam

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Vietnam is a Asian country)

'drive around volcano' is the wordplay.
'drive' becomes 'vim' (I've seen this in another clue).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'volcano' becomes 'etna' (Mount Etna).
'vim' going around 'etna' is 'VIETNAM'.

(Other definitions for vietnam that I've seen before include "The dong its currency" , "Country in SE Asia, capital Hanoi" , "Far Eastern country" , "Country at war with itself from the 1950s to 1970s" , "Met Ivan at the edge of the South China Sea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
