Polynesian island nation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

samoa

'polynesian island nation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for samoa that I've seen before include "Polynesian island group" , "Pacific island nation, capital Apia" , "Southwest Pacific island group" , "SW Pacific island chain" , "Polynesian isle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily and the Universal.
