I.D. in a foreign country (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

india

'country' is the definition.
(India is an example)

'i d in a foreign' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates anagramming the letters (foreign order of the letters).
'd'+'in'+'a'='dina'
'dina' anagrammed gives 'ndia'.
'i'+'ndia'='INDIA'

(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Gandhi's country" , "Country of the Ganges" , "One preceding Juliet" , "Territory" , "Queen Victoria considered it the Jewel in the Crown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
