This country is in ruin — am I biased? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

namibia

'this country' is the definition.
(Namibia is an example)

'in ruin am i biased?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NAMIBIA' can be found hidden inside 'ruin am i biased'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for namibia that I've seen before include "African country - I am a bin (anag)" , "Southern African country" , "SW African state" , "Southwest African country" , "African republic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
