Populous country (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

india

china

'populous country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Country: I (comms.)" , "One preceding Juliet" , "Major sub-continent of Asia" , "In aid, strangely, of the country" , "Big country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times and The Sun.
