Country named for its geographic location (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ecuador

(Other definitions for ecuador that I've seen before include "The state capital is Quito" , "The Galapagos Islands are part of its territory" , "Quito's nation" , "Land" , "South American state" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
