Personification maybe driving country (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incarnation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'personification' is the definition.
(incarnation is a kind of personification)

'maybe driving country' is the wordplay.
'maybe driving' becomes 'incar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'country' becomes 'nation' ('nation' can be a synonym of 'country').
'incar'+'nation'='INCARNATION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incarnation that I've seen before include "Personification of an abstract idea" , "Living embodiment of, eg, a deity" , "Epitome" , "Existence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
