Mideast political entity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emirate

(Other definitions for emirate that I've seen before include "state forbidding alcohol?" , "Muslim government" , "Muslim country, such as Kuwait" , "Meatier (anag) -- Qatar, for example" , "One of the Gulf states" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
