Nation in the Lucayan Archipelago (7)

I believe the answer is:

bahamas

(Other definitions for bahamas that I've seen before include "West Indian country, capital Nassau" , "Atlantic islands" , "Islands east of Florida and Cuba;" , "Island group near Florida" , "Island group between Haiti and Florida" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
