Ross

I believe the answer is:

mexico

(Other definitions for mexico that I've seen before include "1968 Olympics host nation" , "American country gaining independence from Spain in 1810" , "It borders US to south" , "New - - , US state" , "USA's southern neighbour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
