Group of countries (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bloc

'group of countries' is the definition.
(group of associated nations, eg the Eastern bloc)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for bloc that I've seen before include "A number of countries" , "-- Forsyth, entertainer" , "International alliance" , "Combination of nations" , "People cooperating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Independent and The Sun.
