State this country rejected Remain (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kuwait

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

This might be a double definition.

'state' is the first definition.
(Kuwait is an example)

'this country rejected remain' is the second definition.
'Kuwait' can be an answer for 'country' (Kuwait is an example). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kuwait that I've seen before include "Gulf state" , "Gulf emirate" , "Arab kingdom on the Gulf" , "Gulf War liberated it, 1991" , "in Middle East" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
