USA personified (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
uncle sam
'usa personified' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for uncle sam that I've seen before include "America personified" , "The United States" , "'Relative in the US Government (5,3)'" , "Iconic male relative for America" , "Clue's man? (anag)" .)
