Country – people (6)
I believe the answer is:
nation
This clue is a double definition.
'country' is the first definition.
(I know that country can be written as nation)
'people' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for nation that I've seen before include "People sharing a common culture/descent" , "People of a state" , "Body of people under one government" , "Body of people under a single government" , "People of a country" .)
