Scrooge's comment in wet country? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bahrain

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

'country?' is the definition.
(I know that Bahrain is a country)

'scrooge's comment in wet' is the wordplay.
'scrooge's comment' becomes 'bah' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in wet' becomes 'rain' (wet weather. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'bah'+'rain'='BAHRAIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bahrain that I've seen before include "Arab state" , "Gulf region?" , "Arab sheikhdom" , "Island country in the Persian Gulf" , "Gulf sheikhdom, capital Manama" .)
