Part of a country within another (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enclave

(Other definitions for enclave that I've seen before include "Area ethnically different from its surroundings" , "Enclosed territory, culturally distinct the one that surrounds it" , "Territory enclosed within another one" , "Minority culture living within larger group" , "Group ethnically different from those around it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
