Nice lad roaming the country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iceland

'the country' is the definition.
(Iceland is an example)

'nice lad roaming' is the wordplay.
'roaming' indicates an anagram.
'nice'+'lad'='nicelad'
'nicelad' is an anagram of 'ICELAND'.

(Other definitions for iceland that I've seen before include "European island country" , "Volcanic country" , "Former Danish colony" , "The capital city is Reykjavik" , "Althing its parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
