Country's condemnation half ignored (6)

I believe the answer is:

nation

'country's' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'condemnation half ignored' is the wordplay.
'half ignored' means to take half the letters.
'condemnation' with half the letters taken is 'NATION'.

(Other definitions for nation that I've seen before include "A federation of tribes, as Native Americans say" , "Turkey?" , "Country, state" , "Body of people under a single government" , "Body of people under one government" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
