Maybe a spin in the country (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spain

'the country' is the definition.
(Spain is a country)

'maybe a spin' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'spin'='aspin'
'aspin' is an anagram of 'SPAIN'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spain that I've seen before include "It pains one to be out in this country" , "Iberian country" , "European monarchy" , "part of Europe" , "Kingdom" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
